In the early 1800's Fayetteville was a
stagecoach stop on the Bastrop to San Felipe
Trail. The area was settled in the late 1820's
by members of Stephen F. Austin's Colony. German
immigrants (1840's) were followed by Czechs
(1850's) and to this day those early settlers'
culture remains a very important part of the
town's
history and heritage.
Downtown Fayetteville boasts over 340 structures
on the
National Register of Historic Places
along with numerous
Texas Historic Markers within
the city limits. The town is recognized for
both its architectural and
historical
significance. German immigrants arrived in the
1830s, the town was platted in 1850 and large
numbers of Czech and Moravian families
immigrated to the area in the late 19th
century. A stroll around the town square will
give you a taste of the influences left by those
who settled here. It is hard not to be
captivated by the charm of town and the friendly
people you will encounter!
