Leander TX is one of the fastest growing communities in Texas. We’re proud of our home and want to share it with you! Located at the edge of the famous Texas Hill Country in the greater Austin area, Leander offers something for everyone.
Leander is the fourth fastest-growing city in the state of Texas with almost 50,000 residents. It is a part of the Greater Austin metropolitan area. Spearheading the phenomenal growth is the Capital Metro rail station and T.O.D (Transit Oriented Development). The rail station is minutes away from the future Austin Community College – San Gabriel Campus .
Leander was established in 1882 on land sold by the Austin and Northwestern Railroad Co. to prospective citizens and businesses when the nearby town of Bagdad rejected a railroad station. The town was named in honor of Leander “Catfish” Brown , one of the railroad officials responsible for the completion of the line. Leander remained a small town until the 1970’s when the growing Austin suburbs began to reach Cedar Park.
