Austin, Texas is named for Stephen F. Austin, the "Father of Texas." He led a successful colonization of U.S. settlers in early Texan history (even when it was Mexican territory!) and was a supporter of the Texan revolution for independence from Mexico. He got 300 families to settle the land and became an empresario. The city of Austin is where his community had been.
