Prior to being Leander, the town was located one mile west and was officially named Bagdad in 1855. The town was named after an early settler’s hometown, Bagdad, Tennessee. In 1881 the Austin and Northwest Railroad began construction of a new rail line that would connect Austin to Abilene. The line appeared as though it would pass right through the town of Bagdad, but the town was bypassed when the rail line was built one mile to the east. Many of the businesses and residents of Bagdad moved to be near the new train station and purchased lots from the Austin and Northwest Railroad. This town would be called Leander, named after railroad company official and former Austin mayor the Honorable Leander Brown.
You may find some deer, rabbit or wild hog tracks here abouts, and if it has been raining recently the trail may be muddy. Cell reception in this area is sort of weak, coordinates are as close as I could get considering the distance to the nearest cell towers and obstuctions between here and there. Please replace container as found.
Please note: if it crawls, walks, runs, flies, bites, poisons, stings, jabs, scrapes or stinks, has thorns, horns, stickers, burrs, or prickles, it's here. Welcome to Texas. Dress accordingly and be safe.
CONGRATULATIONS TO J2DAD FOR FTF!
