General Information about the City
of La Grange
•
La Grange is nestled along the Colorado River and features history, beauty,
festivals, museums, concerts, and antiques.
•
The streets of La Grange were laid out several years before the organization of
Fayette County in 1837. First populated by Austin's colonists - "The Original Three
Hundred", then followed by German immigrants in the 1840's and Czech and
Moravians in the 1850's, the cultures of these pioneers are evident today.
