With its proximity to early Austin’s city limits, the Bouldin Creek Neighborhood was one of the city’s first “suburbs.” As such, it’s loaded with structures from different periods of the city’s history. In fact this link to South Congress Avenue’s history dates back to 14th Century native tribes that roamed the area.

This site gives you a glimpse of the neighborhood’s significance in Austin’s past, present and future. It also provides economic and cultural reasons to preserve while allowing it to evolve and prosper.
