Did You Know?
Edwin Waller laid out downtown Austin for President Mirabeau B. Lamar of the Republic of Texas. His grid filled one square mile on a bluff above the Colorado River. The north and south streets took the names of Texas rivers, set in the same order as on the state map. Tree names on the cross streets became numbers in 1884.
