History
In 1831, the “Father of Texas”, Stephen F. Austin settled 800 families in the area known at the time as the City of Austin’s “Upper Colonies” from there the present story of Lago Vista and the North Shore community started. Early settlers in the area include notable names such as Lohman, Smithwick and Sylvester. They established trade in the area with the famous “Lohman’s Bridge” which was constructed in 1931 to facilitate convenient travel between the north and south shore of the Colorado River. In the 1980s, attempts by the City of Austin to annex the North Shore communities were halted when Lago Vista, Jonestown and Point Venture voted to individually incorporate.
