About Austin

Austin is the capital of Texas and sits in the hill country of south-central Texas along the Colorado River. The city is named after Stephen F. Austin, the empresario known as the 'Father of Texas', and it became the state capital in 1839. Austin is famous for its live music scene, which has earned it the nickname 'Live Music Capital of the World', and its slogan 'Keep Austin Weird' reflects its independent spirit. The city is a major center for technology, higher education, and culture, anchored by the University of Texas at Austin. Its lakes, trails, and vibrant neighborhoods give Austin a laid-back feel that contrasts with its fast-growing economy. The city's South Congress district, with its boutiques and food trucks, and the nearby Texas Hill Country add to its appeal.
