History

Leander traces its origins back to the 1850s when the town was known as Bagdad. The town was located along the route of the Chisholm Trail used by cowboys to drive cattle to Kansas. In 1882, the town was renamed Leander after the son of a railroad official. The town grew slowly over the years serving as a small railroad stop and farming community.

Major growth came in the 1990s and 2000s as the Austin metro area expanded. Leander has grown by over 400% since 2000. Many Austin commuters moved to Leander seeking affordable housing and a small-town feel. This growth transformed Leander from a sleepy rural town to a bustling Austin suburb.
