About Austin
Named after Stephen F. Austin - the Father of Texas - this eclectic capital city combines downhome charm with bustling vitality. Austin has an impressive resume: it's gotten several "best place to live in the US" awards, it's one of the top-ten fastest-growing cities in the US, and it's among the nation's best-read cities. Austin is also called the "Live Music Capital of the World," highlighted by the annual South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in March - a weeklong event featuring hundreds of diverse bands. As for dining, Austin is said to have more restaurants per capita than any other US city. Popular attractions include the 220-acre Wild Basin Preserve, the popular McKinney Falls State Park, and Mt. Bonnell, which overlooks Lake Austin. Dubbed "The Silicon Hills," Austin is a high-tech mecca thanks to Dell Computer, IBM, Motorola and other companies. The city is also home to the University of Texas.
