History & Context

History Austin is the capital of the state of Texas and has a rich and interesting history that spans over two centuries. Here are some of the key events that have shaped the city's history: Native American tribes such as the Tonkawa, Comanche, and Lipan Apache were the first inhabitants of the Austin area. They hunted and fished in the region for centuries before the arrival of European explorers. In 1730, Spanish explorers first visited the area that is now Austin. The Spanish claimed the region, but did not establish a settlement. In 1835, Texas declared independence from Mexico, and in 1839, the Republic of Texas was established with Austin as its capital. The city was named after Stephen F. Austin, the "Father of Texas." The first permanent settlement in Austin was established in 1839, and the city quickly grew as a center of government and commerce.
