A brief lesson in history

Austin has not always been the bustling city that it is today. Nomadic tribes of Tonkawas, Comanches and Lipan Apaches camped and hunted along the creeks for hundreds of years before the first permanent Anglo settlers arrived in 1830 and called this then village Waterloo. In 1839, tiny Waterloo was chosen to be the capital of the new Republic of Texas. A new city was built as fast as possible in the wilderness, and was named after Stephen F. Austin, "the father of Texas." The city's first mayor Judge Edwin Waller laid out a street plan that has survived largely intact to this day, and which you can perhaps glimpse a little bit of in Austin posters like Austin Texas City Map. This beautiful motif can bring a whole new dimension and dynamic into your home or office with its interesting design and gorgeous tones. Today, Austin is known as much for its cultural life and high-tech innovations as it is for the senators and schoolteachers who shaped its beginnings, which is why there is such a sublime mix of the past and the future in this vibrant Texan capital.
