| | Austin, Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Austin's history has also been largely tied to government and politics; at one time it was the capital of the Republic of Texas, and it is currently the capital of the state of Texas in the United States. |
 | | Austin is well known as a center for liberal politics in a generally conservative state, leading some Texas conservatives to deride the city as "The People's Republic of Austin." Suburban neighborhoods in Austin, especially to the west and north, and several satellite municipalities, however, tend toward political conservatism. |
 | | Central Austin is bracketed by Interstate 35 to the east and the Mopac Expressway to the west. |
