Buda, Tx
History
Located just south of Austin, Buda has its roots in 1881, when the International-Great Northern Railroad built tracks through Hays County. This sparked a settlement that would eventually grow into the vibrant town we know today. The City of Buda says it officially incorporated on February 16, 1948, to handle its rapid post-war growth. The story goes that the name “Buda” came about when a Hungarian railroad worker jokingly suggested calling the stop after the hilltop part of Budapest, Buda, after hearing his coworkers talk about their hometown. Throughout its history, Buda has marked significant milestones, including the opening of its first schoolhouse in 1883 and the annual Hays County Frontier Days, which has drawn visitors for over a century.
