Austin is the capital of Texas, the second most populous state in the nation.  With more than one million people, the Austin metropolitan area serves as a center for academic, political, research and technological activities.  Sparkling lakes and dramatic terrain make Austin an oasis for sports and recreation. The University of Texas at Austin and its 52,000 students influence the character of the community toward education and achievement.

Austin lies in one of three geologically stable areas in the U.S.  The inactive Balcones Escarpment extends through Austin, creating the dramatic hills and environmental features which characterize the area.

A series of dams on the river has created seven lakes that reach from the Austin city limits to a point 150 miles upstream.  Lake Travis lies on Austin's western edge; Lake Austin and Town Lake are situated in the heart of the city dividing north and south.
