The Nutrition Authority, 696 Hwy. 71 W. Ste. 2E
Bastrop’s historical roots run deep. A rich harvest of classic Texas folklore and architecture exists today. Originally, the site served as a meeting ground for Tonkawa and other Southwestern Indians. It also provided a vital Colorado River crossing on the Old San Antonio Road—El Camino Real. It was not until 1821, however, that Moses Austin journeyed through the area and determined to build a settlement on the site.

During the Spanish colonial period in Texas, El Camino Real, the road between San Antonio and Nacogdoches, crossed The Colorado River where Bastrop is located. Bastrop was named for Philip H. Nering Boegel, the Baron de Bastrop, who aided Moses and Stephen F. Austin in establishing their Texas colonies. Settled as part of Austin’s “Little Colony” of 1827, Bastrop received a Mexican land grant in 1832 platting the town. Numerous Bastrop men fought in the Texas Revolution, and Bastrop was one of the original Republic of Texas counties after Independence in 1836.
