Austin (Dripping Springs), TX
IN THE LATE FALL OF 1853, three families--bound by kinship and a desire to move to Texas--put their belongings in wagons and left Mississippi. In January 1854, they topped what is now called Wallace Mountain and decided this would be the place they would make their home.
THEIR CHOSEN SPOT was only 30 miles from the capital of Texas, but was still considered part of the frontier, complete with Indians. In all probability, they found their way by following the road that carried supplies to the army fort at Fredericksburg. The three families were those of Dr. Joseph McKegg Pound and his wife Sarah, John L. Moss and his wife Indiana (called "Nannie"), and John Lee Wallace and his wife Malvina. The Pounds were newlyweds, but the Wallaces and Mosses already had children. Sarah and Nannie were sisters. John Wallace was a nephew of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
TODAY, DRIPPING SPRINGS is often referred to as the "Gateway to the Texas Hill Country." Rolling hills, beautiful rock bottom creeks, abundant wildlife and majestic views make up this Hill Country town with a population of about 1,100 folks.
COMMUNITY RESIDENTS ARE ESPECIALLY PROUD of their new library, as well as Founders City Park, a 30-acre city-owned park just north of the Hwy. 290 West intersection on Ranch Road 12, which features a junior Olympic-sized pool with kiddie area, jogging trail, softball fields, pavilion, picnic facilities, concession stand, and playscape.
