Austin: State Capital, University Town, Tech Migration
Austin is the capital of Texas, with approximately 974,000 residents in Travis County along the Colorado River. The city was established in 1839 as the capital of the Republic of Texas and named after Stephen F. Austin. The Texas State Capitol, completed in 1888 in red granite quarried from Marble Falls, stands 302 feet tall, fourteen feet taller than the U.S. Capitol in Washington. The grounds cover 22 acres north of downtown, and the building remains the seat of the state legislature and the governor's office.
The University of Texas at Austin is the flagship of the UT System, enrolling roughly 52,000 students. The Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium seats over 100,000 for Longhorns football, and the LBJ Presidential Library on campus holds the papers of Lyndon B. Johnson. South by Southwest, known as SXSW, has drawn music, film, and technology conferences to the city every March since 1987, and the Austin City Limits festival fills Zilker Park each October.
Technology migration has reshaped the city over the past 15 years. Tesla built Gigafactory Texas on the eastern outskirts of the city and established its corporate headquarters there in 2021. Oracle relocated its headquarters to Austin in 2020, and Meta, Google, and Apple operate substantial offices in the city. Dell Technologies, founded in a UT dorm room in 1984 by Michael Dell, remains headquartered in nearby Round Rock. The "Keep Austin Weird" slogan emerged in the early 2000s as a response to rapid corporate growth.
The city sits along the Balcones Escarpment, the geological boundary between the Texas Hill Country to the west and the coastal plain to the east. Barton Springs, a spring-fed pool in Zilker Park, maintains a year-round temperature near 68 degrees and remains one of the defining recreational features of central Austin.
