History of Cedar Park, Texas

Cedar Park, TX was originally settled in the mid-1800s as a small farming community. The town's name is derived from the cedar trees that grow in the area and the park that was created when the railroad came through in the early 1900s. The town remained relatively small until the 1990s when it experienced rapid growth due to its proximity to Austin and the construction of major highways. Today, Cedar Park is a thriving city with a population of over 80,000 and a vibrant economy that includes tech companies, healthcare providers, and retail businesses. Despite its rapid growth, Cedar Park has maintained its small-town charm and commitment to preserving its natural beauty and community spirit.
