Bastrop, TX | The History

In 1804, Spanish soldiers constructed a fort at the present site of Bastrop, but the fort was soon abandoned. In 1823, a man calling himself the Baron de Bastrop was granted permission to establish a Germany colony on the site, but the colony never materialized. However, he was a longtime friend of Stephen F. Austin and helped smooth the way for Austin to receive permission to settle 100 families on the site. Austin’s grant was approved in 1827, which was the same year that the Baron de Bastrop died. Austin named the settlement Bastrop to honor his friend. Interestingly, the Baron de Bastrop was actually a commoner who was wanted for embezzlement in the Netherlands. Fleeing his home country, he made his way to Louisiana; after the Louisiana Purchase, he moved to Texas.

In 1832, the town of Bastrop was officially platted. Two years later, the Mexican government changed the town’s name to Mina as a tribute to a hero of the Mexican War of Independence. After Texas won its independence from Mexico, the town’s original name was restored, and Bastrop was officially incorporated in 1837. Bastrop County was created in 1837 as well, and since Bastrop was the only town in the county, it automatically became the county seat.

Bastrop grew slowly throughout the 19th century and most of the 20th century. In 1860, there were barely 1,100 people living in Bastrop, and in 1890, there were slightly more than 1,600. In 1900, the population exceeded 2,000 for the first time, but it declined by 1910, never breaking 2,000 again until 1950. In 1970, Bastrop had approximately 3,100 residents, but Austin’s expansion helped Bastrop’s population grow. Growth has not been spectacular, but it has been steady, and the current population is estimated at more than 8,500.
