    2 Welcome to weird Getting to Know Austin Our 4th FlyingLab to SXSW, the FlyingLab team is thrilled to be heading back to Austin. Whether this is your first time, or you have also grown attached to the city over multiple visits, we would like to share with you some fun and interesting ways to explore Austin’s truly Texan roots. From mutton bustin’ to honky-tonk, from Texas wine country to Tejano music, you can dance, zip line, or ride (horse or race car—take your pick) your way into the heart of wonderful, weird Austin. Hats Off to Austin! Turning heads again in 2019, Austin was voted the No. 1 place to live in Ame- rica for the third year in a row by U.S. News & FlyingLab Austin City Guide City Austin FlyingLab World Report. While excellent job prospects and affordability translate into a high standard of living for its residents, this state capital has a rich history stretching back to its founding in 1839, long before high-tech firms and the SXSW festival would transform the city into a global hub for twenty-first century creatives. 3 Once upon a time in Austin The Past in the Present Anglo-American settlers put down roots in the area that would become Austin in the 1830s. At that time, it belonged to the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. In 1835, how-ever, Texas declared itself independent from Mexico, lead- ing to the Texas Revolution that ended in 1836 with the formation of the independent Republic of Texas, which was in turn ratified in 1845 as the 28th state of the Union.

It brings in millions of fans and millions of dollars in profit from hundreds of sporting events each year. This has led the UT athletics program to dominate the Central Texas sports scene. However, there are several professional sports teams, including the Austin Aztex, Austin Toros, Austin Turfcats, Round Rock Express and Texas Stars, in the area.
