The river was named by Spanish explorers who discovered the area on the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The hydrology of the river is influenced by both natural factors, such as rainfall and evaporation, and human factors, such as water usage and dam management. The river has several reservoirs and dams, including Canyon Lake, Lake McQueeney, and Lake Placid. These structures are used for flood control, water supply, and hydroelectric power generation. The Guadalupe River is a popular recreational destination for fishing, swimming, and tubing, and also supports agricultural uses such as irrigation for crops like rice and sugarcane. The river is an important ecological resource, providing habitat for a diverse range of plant and animal species.
