Travis County was created during the days of the Texas Republic (1840) out of Bastrop County; it was named for William Barrett Travis who was a military commander at the Siege of the Alamo. More than a dozen new, additional counties were subsequently carved out of Travis; today, the county covers an area of about 1,100 sq. miles. Today the county is comprised of dozens of distinctive towns, villages and communities, each with their own sub-neighborhoods and subdivisions.

Eastern Travis County's rich soil and grassy plains gave rise to a thriving cotton industry. The western county is comprised of numerous limestone hills.
