Dripping Springs, Texas
In the late fall of 1853, three families bound by kinship and a desire to move to Texas, put their belongings in wagons and left Mississippi. In late January 1854 they topped what is now called Wallace Mountain and decided this would be the place they would make their home. Their chosen spot was only 30 miles west of the capital of Texas but was still considered part of the frontier. On June 5, 1857, John Moss was appointed the first postmaster. To have a post office, the community needed a name. Nannie Moss officially named it for the “dripping springs” at the Milk House Branch of the Edwards Aquifer, a gathering place for the Tonkawa. Dripping Springs became a stagecoach stop and part of a freight line that ran between Austin and Fredericksburg. The main attractions to life in Dripping Springs continue to be what drew the original founders: simple charm, a family lifestyle and lifelong friendships – all set in the beauty of the central Texas hill country.
