Located about nine miles east of Round Rock, Hutto is a growing Austin-area suburb with a unique sense of character. Known as the Hippo Capital of Texas, Hutto touts 4,000 hippo statues throughout town. Hutto’s hippo lore dates back to 1915, when a hippo escaped from a traveling circus train and settled into the local Cottonwood Creek before being recaptured.
Hutto’s charm doesn’t end with the hippos. The city offers a strong sense of community, which is evident in its support of local events such as the Old Tyme Days Festival, Crawfish Festival, Sunset Black Party Bash, Spring-A-Palooza, Old Town Christmas, and the Hutto Farmers Market.
The Hutto community also comes together in historic Old Town Hutto, where 19th-century buildings house an array of independent restaurants and specialty shops. Residents enjoy the outdoors at Hutto Lake Park, the Golf Club at Star Ranch, Fritz Park, and the Cottonwood Trail. Getting around from Hutto is simple with access to U.S. 79 and Route 130.
