Welcome to Beautiful Lago Vista, Texas

---

The Lago Vista area was initially populated by various Native American Indian tribes (notably Apache and Comanche) and other sovereign nations. Control of the greater Central Texas area was fought over for centuries with the modern area beginning in the 1500's. 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 current story of Lago Vista and the North Shore Community began.

Twenty-one Texas cities have been recognized as 2019 Certified Scenic City award recipients through the Scenic City Certification Program, a program of Scenic Texas and its 17 partner organizations.
