History of Austin
Texas became a part of the U.S. in 1845, and Waterloo was eventually renamed after Stephen Austin, the "Father of Texas." After the Depression, Austin's economy prospered, and the area attracted more and more modern amenities like movie theaters, plus a professional baseball team. The city became a center of technology by the 1950s and began to take on a new life as a musical hub in the 1970s thanks to musicians like Willie Nelson. Now, on any given night, scores of talented artists can be heard playing all kinds of musical styles throughout the city's numerous nightclubs and concert halls.
