Lund, Texas

Lund is a small unincorporated community in northeastern Travis County, Texas, United States.

The community served as the hub of a sizable Swedish agricultural hamlet that grew as an outpost of the New Sweden region four miles to the west.

From their residence in Lund, two brothers named Carl and Fred Bergman wrote letters to their sisters who lived in Sweden.

They wrote, "West of us there live nothing but Swedes for a distance of about sixteen miles," in a letter dated January 23, 1896.

"A peculiar variety of people dwell east, south, and north of us, including Americans, Germans, Bohemians, Negroes, and Mexicans."

Large crops were generated by the fertile countryside, and the new immigrants in Lund started to identify more with Americans than with Swedes.
