Lakeway, Texas

The town of Lakeway was founded on the site of a 2,700-acre ranch owned by Houston oilman and rancher Jack (Jake) Josey.

Flint Sawtelle, John H. Crooker, Jr., and Lee Blocker—obtained a sixty-day option to purchase the land and plan a hotel and resort community.

Around the same time, the Lakeway Land Company was formed, with Flint Sawtelle as president, for the development of real estate.

In June 1974, a substantial majority of resident and nonresident property owners voted to incorporate with the consent of the city of Austin, and the 1,200-acre village of Lakeway resulted.

The City of Lakeway is served by the Lake Travis Independent School District (LTISD).
