 Austin, Texas - encyclopedia article about Austin, Texas.
Austin is well known as a center for liberal politics in a generally conservative state, leading some Texas conservatives to deride the city as the "People's Republic of Austin." Austin's suburbs, especially to the west and north, and several satellite municipalities, however, tend toward political conservatism.
In 1842, Austin almost lost its status as capital city during the Texas Archive War.
Austin is home to University of Texas at Austin, the largest university in the state of Texas and a flagship institution of The University of Texas System, also the largest state system of higher education in Texas.

 Austin County History
The settlement of towns in Austin County began in 1823 when San Felipe de Austin was chosen as the headquarters of the colony by the first settlers and the Baron de Bastrop.
In order to attract settlers for his new colony Austin advertised in newspapers and offered the incentive of additional land to those who possessed skills which could be used by all who settled in the colony.
The organization was formed to, "...further immigration, facilitate correspondence between Texas and Germany, practice philanthropy and preserve the German traits of character." Many of the community halls in which these societies met remain standing and are still used frequently for dances, meetings, reunions and picnics.

 Handbook of Texas Online: AUSTIN COUNTY
By the mid-1840s Austin County's growing reputation as a haven for German settlers began attracting immigrants brought to Texas by the Adelsverein.
Austin County (L-19), in southeastern Texas thirty-five miles west of Houston, is bordered on the north by Washington County, on the east by Waller and Fort Bend counties, on the south by Wharton County, and on the West by Colorado and Fayette counties.
The failure of revolution in Germany in 1848 triggered a new wave of immigration to Austin County in the late 1840s and 1850s consisting largely of political dissidents, many well educated.
