"Austin has been the capital of Texas since 1839, and in 2013 the area
became the nation's capital for population growth, according to U.S.
Census Bureau estimates released today. San Marcos, Cedar Park and
Georgetown — each near Austin — ranked among the 10 fastest-growing
cities with populations of 50,000 or more during the year ending July 1,
2013. San Marcos was number one in percent growth for the second
consecutive year, with Austin itself gaining more people (nearly 21,000)
than any city with fewer than 1 million residents.
The South and West dominated the list of fastest-growing
municipalities between 2012 and 2013, claiming all of the top 15, seven
of which were in Texas. Frisco and McKinney (near Dallas), Odessa (in
West Texas) and Pearland (near Houston) were the other Texas cities on
the list. (See Table 1 for complete list.).."
