In August 1823 the Baron de Bastrop, Rawson Alley, Austin, and a party of slaves surveyed 170 acres above the Atascosito Crossing on the Colorado. The site was to be the capital of Colorado Municipality and the headquarters of all the Austin colony, but the location was later abandoned in favor of San Felipe de Austin. Colorado County, one of the original counties of the Republic of Texas, was formed in 1836 and organized in 1837. -Handbook of Texas Online: Colorado County |
