HISTORY
South Austin has a long history of being a destination for artists, musicians, and supporters of locally owned businesses. This area didn’t start growing until around 1910 when the construction of a bridge into the neighborhood provided quick transportation into north and downtown Austin. South Congress and South Lamar are the main drags here and both of them still radiate the quirky, trendy energy for which this neighborhood has been famous for decades. For example, the Broken Spoke, a classic honky tonk dance hall founded in 1964, still features live music every night and is a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike.
