City of Dripping Springs to spend $350,000.00 to occupy 6,879 square feet of space in Dripping Springs Texas.
Dripping Springs, Texas — According to state and local economic development sources City of Dripping Springs plans to invest $350,000.00 to build out 6,879 square feet of new space in Dripping Springs. The company plans to occupy the new space at 511 Mercer Street in Dripping Springs, on or about June 1, 2023. According to the company website In the late fall of 1853, three familiesbound by kinship and a desire to move to Texasput their belongings in wagons and left Mississippi. In January 1854, they topped what is now called Wallace Mountain and decided this would be the place they would make their home. Their chosen spot was only 30 miles from the capital of Texas, but was still considered part of the frontier, complete with Indians. In all probability, they found their way by following the road that carried supplies to the army fort at Fredericksburg. The three families were those of Dr. Joseph McKegg Pound and his wife Sarah, John L. Moss and his wife Indiana (called Nannie), and John Lee Wallace and his wife Malvina. The Pounds were newlyweds, but the Wallaces and Mosses already had children. Sarah and Nannie were sisters. John Wallace was a nephew of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. On June 5, 1857, John Moss was appointed the first postmaster. To have a post office, the community needed a name. Nannie Moss officially named it for the dripping springs at the Milk House Branch of the Edwards Aquifer, a gathering place for the Tonkawa Indians. Dripping Springs became a stagecoach stop and part of a freight line that ran between Austin and Fredericksburg. The last reported Indian raid occurred in 1872. The main attractions to life in Dripping Springs continue to be what drew the original founders: simple charm, a family lifestyle and lifelong friendships all set in the beauty of the central Texas hill country.
