Austin is the capital of the US state of Texas. It is the fourth most populous city in Texas and is the southernmost state capital in the US. Austin is known for its vibrant music scene, having been dubbed the "Live Music Capital of the World." It was originally inhabited by the Tonkawa tribe before European colonists arrived. It was named for Stephen F. Austin, commonly referred to as the "Father of Texas."
Texas is the second largest state in the United States by area. Its capital is Austin, and other major cities include Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Fort Worth. Before European conquest, the Texas region was home to indigineous cultures such as the Ancestral Puebloan, Uto-Aztecan Puebloan, Caddoan, and Atakapan peoples. In 1519, Spain claimed ownership of the territory that would later come to constitute the state of Texas.
