Did you know Whole Foods was started in Austin? Twenty-one-year-old John Mackey and twenty-one-year-old Renee Lawson borrowed $45,000 from friends and family. With this investment, they opened the first store called SaferWay in Austin. Two years later, they merged with Clarksville Natural Grocery resulting in the first original Whole Foods Market which opened in 1980 with only 19 people.

Today, there are over 500 locations and 91,000 employees. In 2017, Amazon acquired Whole Food Market food $13.7 billion. Photo Credit: Whole Foods Market

History of Zilker Park: Andrew Zilker arrived in Austin at the age of 1876 at the age of 18. With only 50 cents in his pocket, he began work as a dishwasher. However, he discovered real money in the manufacturing of ice. He climbed up the ladders within months and became foreman for an icemaker.

Soon after, he owned his own ice plant. With this success he bought 350 aces between the Colorado River and Barton Creek. He used the clear Barton Springs water to make the ice itself.

Zilker also was a volunteer fireman, Director of the First National Bank, Water and Light Commissioner, and served both as alderman from the old Tenth Ward and president of the Travis County School Board. He was also the first bottler of Coca-Cola in Austin.

In 1917, he cut a deal giving Barton Springs and the surrounding areas to the Austin school district. The area is now know today as Zilker Metropolitan Park. Ariel photo from 1938.

Austin History:
Nomadic tribes such as the Tonkawas, Comanches, and Lipan Apaches used what is now known as Barton Springs to camp and hunt. During the 1700’s temporary missions were set up in the area. However, it wasn’t till the 1830’s that permanent Anglo settlers arrived and named their village Waterloo.

By 1839, Waterloo was growing quickly and was chosen to be the Capital location of Texas. However, the name “Waterloo” was replaced to “Austin” in honor of Stephen F. Austin, “the father of Texas.” #Austin #history
