Leander was established in 1882 on land sold by the Austin and Northwestern Railroad Co. to prospective citizens. Landmarks include Leander and Texas Bullion Depository. Leander is the birthplace of Paul Thompson, football quarterback, born 1983.
Leander was established in 1882 on land sold by the Austin and Northwestern Railroad Co. to prospective citizens. The town was named in honor of Leander "Catfish" Brown, one of the railroad officials responsible for the completion of the line.
Tumlinson Fort, the first Anglo-American settlement in Williamson County, was established in early January 1836 at the headwaters of Brushy Creek, four miles south of present-day Leander. With the purpose of protecting settlers from attacks by the Comanche, a company of Texas Rangers occupied the post until late February, when the invasion of Santa Anna made abandoning the post necessary, soon after which it was burned by the Comanche.
The Webster Massacre occurred just east of present-day Leander in October, 1839, when a party of 16 settlers traveling westward through the area was attacked by a band of Comanche, and all but three were killed. A 1936 Texas Centennial marker marks the location where the dead were buried in a mass grave, now located inside the Davis Cemetery east of Leander. The marker incorrectly lists thirty of the Webster party were killed. Dolly Webster's account, the only first hand description written by an adult survivor, lists by name a party of sixteen, which included her husband, herself, and her two children, the only survivors. Webster says about fifteen or more Comanche were killed that day or died soon after from wounds. Dolly Webster's account says it occurred at dawn, October 13, though "October 13" appears to be a misprint, the actual date being October 1 based on the travel itinerary she provided.
Near Leander, the Leanderthal Lady, a skeleton dating back 10,000 to 13,000 years, was discovered; the site was one of the earliest intact burials found in the United States.
In August and September 2011, destructive wildfires swept through two central Leander neighborhoods, burning a total of 330 acres (130 ha) and destroying 26 homes.
