Have a "Budaful Time" in Buda, Texas

Buda, Texas borders it's neighbor Kyle, Texas. While both are incorporated cities, many locals refer to them as "Buda/Kyle"

Buda, Texas, a friendly, relaxing town, is well known for its antique downtown shopping in the original buildings.

Buda enjoys the quality of life available only in a small town, while being 15-20 minutes from downtown Austin.

Buda was formally established on April 1, 1881, when Cornelia Trimble donated land for a townsite at an International-Great Northland Railroad depot. Buda had earlier been settled as part of a Mexican land grant.

Many believe that the name is derived from the Spanish word, viuda, which means widow.

The town had gathered a reputation as a popular eating stop for rail travelers and the name may refer to a pair of widows who cooked at the eatery in the late 1800s.
