Below is some general information about Austin:

Austin is the capital of the U.S. state of Texas and the seat of Travis County. Located in Central Texas on the eastern edge of the American Southwest, Austin is the 13th most populous city in the United States of America and the fourth most populous city in the state of Texas. It was the third-fastest-growing large city in the nation from 2000 to 2006. Austin has a population of 820,611 (2011 U.S. Census). The city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan area, which had an estimated population 1,783,519 (2011 U.S. Census), making it the 34th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States and the fourth-largest in Texas.

In the 1830s, pioneers began to settle the area in central Austin along the Colorado River. After Republic of Texas Vice President Mirabeau B. Lamar visited the area during a buffalo-hunting expedition between 1837 and 1838, he proposed that the republicÕs capital then located in Houston, Texas, be relocated to the area situated on the north bank of the Colorado River near the present-day Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge. In 1839, the site was officially chosen as the republicÕs new capital (the republicÕs seventh and final location) and was incorporated under the name Waterloo. Shortly thereafter, the name was changed to Austin in honor of Stephen F. Austin, the ÒFather of TexasÓ and the republicÕs first secretary of state.

The city grew throughout the 19th century and became a center for government and education with the construction of the Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas at Austin. After a lull in growth from the Great Depression, Austin resumed its development into a major city in the 1980s and emerged as a center for technology and business. A number of Fortune 500 companies have headquarters or regional offices in Austin including Advanced Micro Devices, Apple, Google, IBM, Intel, Texas Instruments, 3M, and Whole Foods Market. DellÕs worldwide headquarters is located in nearby Round Rock, a suburb of Austin.

Residents of Austin are known as ÒAustinites.Ó They include a diverse mix of government employees (e.g., university faculty & staff, law enforcement, political staffers); foreign and domestic college students; musicians; high-tech workers; blue-collar workers and businesspeople. The city is home to development centers for many technology corporations; it adopted the ÒSilicon HillsÓ nickname in the 1990s. However, the current official slogan promotes Austin as ÒThe Live Music Capital of the WorldÓ, a reference to the many musicians and live music venues within the area, and the long-running PBS TV concert series Austin City Limits.

In recent years, some Austinites have also adopted the unofficial slogan ÒKeep Austin Weird.Ó This interpretation of the classic, ÒTexas-styleÓ sense of independence refers to: the traditional and proudly eclectic, liberal lifestyles of many Austin residents; a desire to protect small, unique, local businesses from being overrun by large corporations; and as a reaction to the perceived rise of conservative influences within the community. In the late 1800s, Austin also became known as the City of the ÒViolet CrownÓ for the wintertime violet glow of color across the hills just after sunset. Even today, many Austin businesses use the term Òviolet crownÓ in their name. Austin is known as a Òclean air cityÓ for the cityÕs stringent no-smoking ordinances that apply to all public places and buildings, and all restaurants.
