CEO, <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Regional<br />

Medical Center<br />

Over the past year, it has been<br />

exciting to experience the growth<br />

of <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Regional Medical<br />

Center. Last April, we completed<br />

our first expansion project with<br />

Ken Moncebaiz<br />

Owner,<br />

K&M Steam Cleaning<br />

K&M Steam Cleaning specializes in<br />

putting people first, which is why<br />

we are growing faster than ever.<br />

Mark Masten<br />

Regional Bank Area<br />

President, Wells Fargo<br />

Wells Fargo has served this<br />

community since 1858 when our<br />

stagecoaches carried mail and<br />

passengers across 900 miles of<br />

Texas territory. Today, Wells Fargo<br />

is a diversified financial services<br />

company providing banking,<br />

insurance, investments, mortgage<br />

sponsors<br />

the opening of our Level II NICU<br />

and additional Labor Delivery<br />

Recovery rooms. We recently<br />

launched our Neurology and<br />

Interventional Cardiology services.<br />

Through minimally invasive<br />

cardiac techniques, the blood<br />

flow in the vessels that lead to the<br />

heart can often be restored, and<br />

heart attacks may be prevented.<br />

We also continue to provide our<br />

30-Minutes-or-Less ER Service<br />

Pledge. In February, 2013, we<br />

initially saw patients in our<br />

Emergency Department in an<br />

average of 22 minutes. We are<br />

dedicated to providing exceptional<br />

care to the communities of <strong>Cedar</strong><br />

<strong>Park</strong> and Leander.<br />

We go above and beyond to<br />

make each of our customers feel<br />

appreciated. With 17 years of<br />

Carpet, Upholstery and Air Duct<br />

Cleaning experience, K&M has<br />

expanded its expertise to include<br />

Tile Cleaning, and is also an expert<br />

in Stone Restoration.<br />

K&M Steam Cleaning is fully<br />

insured and bonded and is an<br />

accredited member of the BBB.<br />

K&M Steam Cleaning is locally<br />

owned and operated, and<br />

committed to providing superior<br />

customer service and affordable<br />

prices to the residents of <strong>Cedar</strong><br />

<strong>Park</strong>, Leander and Avery Ranch.<br />

and consumer finance through<br />

more than 120 <strong>Community</strong><br />

Banking stores and 183 ATMs in<br />

Central Texas.<br />

Locally, the Leander and <strong>Cedar</strong><br />

<strong>Park</strong> areas include several<br />

convenient <strong>Community</strong> Banking<br />

stores with personal bankers<br />

ready to help you reach your<br />

financial goals.<br />

We strive to help you at every<br />

stage of your life including buying<br />

a home or auto, starting a small<br />

business, saving for college,<br />

planning for retirement—and<br />

much more.<br />

Markers bring past to life<br />

By Emilie Boenig<br />

The historical markers scattered throughout <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> and Leander help<br />

shine a light on what life was like in the 19th century and earlier. The first<br />

documented pioneers include the Cluck, Heinatz, Dodd, McRae and Crumley<br />

families. Following the Texas Revolution that ended in 1845, many early settlers<br />

were awarded land grants from the state, growing the region’s population<br />

and eventually leading to the incorporation of <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> in 1973 and<br />

Leander in 1978. The area now boasts more than 82,000 residents. This<br />

page highlights just some of the nearby historical markers.<br />

Blockhouse<br />

The marker at the entrance of the<br />

Blockhouse Creek neighborhood<br />

notes the location of the first<br />

habitation of white men in<br />

Williamson County. Built by the<br />

Texas Rangers under Capt. John<br />

J. Tumlinson in 1836, the fort was<br />

designed to protect future frontier<br />

settlers. Steps were carved into<br />

a tree that once stood on-site so<br />

Rangers could keep watch. The<br />

blockhouse was abandoned upon<br />

Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa<br />

Anna’s invasion of Texas, and<br />

in 1837, it was burned down by<br />

Native Americans.<br />

Brushy Creek burial site<br />

The body of a prehistoric<br />

woman was just one discovery<br />

made near what is now the<br />

western portion of FM 1431 in<br />

<strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong>. In 1973, the Texas<br />

Highway Department began<br />

an archeological survey of the<br />

vicinity before building the<br />

proposed FM 1431 extension<br />

from US 183 to I-35. During the<br />

next 20 years, the site yielded<br />

evidence of prehistoric cultural<br />

habitation, including fireplaces,<br />

spear points and grinding stones.<br />

The burial of a young woman,<br />

dubbed “Leanderthal Lady” or<br />

“Leanne” by discoverers, was<br />

uncovered in 1981. Though<br />

researchers do not know her<br />

cause of death, it is estimated<br />

she was buried about 11,000<br />

years ago.<br />

3 <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Cemetery<br />

The <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Cemetery on Bell<br />

Boulevard is home to a number<br />

history<br />

of <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong>’s founding families,<br />

including George and Harriet<br />

“Hattie” Cluck. The couple drove<br />

cattle on the Chisholm Trail<br />

through Williamson County before<br />

settling on what would become<br />

the northwest corner of US 183<br />

and Buttercup Creek Boulevard<br />

in 1873. A number of family<br />

members—including son Emmet,<br />

who named the town <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> in<br />

1887—are buried in the cemetery,<br />

which was set aside by George<br />

and Harriet in 1901 following the<br />

death of an infant grandson. The<br />

land was deeded to the <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />

Cemetery Association in 1912, and<br />

the cost of public burials benefits<br />

the Central Texas Children’s<br />

Home, a nonprofit that provides<br />

residential care for children living<br />

in troubled homes.<br />

Heinatz<br />

Homestead<br />

J.F. Heinatz ><br />

4 Heinatz<br />

Homestead<br />

The Heinatz<br />

Homestead was built from native<br />

Texas stones in fall 1850 and<br />

included an adjoining general<br />

store and post office. The builder,<br />

John Frederick Heinatz, was<br />

born in Germany in 1822. After<br />

settling in what was then known<br />

as Bagdad, he became the store<br />

proprietor, postmaster, public<br />

school board trustee and banker—<br />

among other town occupations.<br />

The home still stands along<br />

Bagdad Road in Leander.<br />

city information<br />

LUBE & AUTO REPAIR<br />

Welcome to the City of <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong>, named a Family<br />

Circle magazine “Best Town for Families” in 2011. My<br />

family and I, along with thousands of others, are proud<br />

to call <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> home for many reasons.<br />

We are located immediately next to Austin and its<br />

amenities, but we are proud to have plenty of our own<br />

features right here in town. Our residents continue to<br />

ask us to strike a balance between the conveniences of<br />

city living and the thoughtful preservation of smalltown<br />

community values. You can see two professional<br />

sports teams and many top musical acts at the 7,000seat<br />

<strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Center. Your family can also enjoy<br />

the benefits of <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> being named by the Texas<br />

Department of Public Safety as the second-safest city<br />

of our size in Texas in 2011 and 2012.<br />

Leander has doubled in size in the past 10 years. People<br />

have started to discover the vast array of parks, golf,<br />

schools, rolling hills and a fun culture.<br />

Leander has something for everyone. Leander continues<br />

to diversify itself and work on attracting more restaurants<br />

and amenities. 2013 will see several expansions of our<br />

road and transportation system, including the opening<br />

of Hero Way, Mel Mathis Boulevard, San Gabriel <strong>Park</strong>way<br />

and the extension of Lakeline Boulevard from Crystal<br />

Falls <strong>Park</strong>way up to FM 2243.<br />

City Council took a proactive approach several years<br />

ago to secure the water necessary for such growth and<br />

expansions. The planned “new urbanism approach” of<br />

the transit-orientated development around the Capital<br />

<br />

<strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> turns 40 this year, and it is clear that<br />

our future grows only brighter. Our City Council and<br />

staff are committed to economic development and<br />

the attraction and retention of primary jobs. As the<br />

overall economic picture improves, <strong>Cedar</strong> <strong>Park</strong> is wellpositioned<br />

to attract even more high-tech, high-paying<br />

job creators and new retailers and restaurants to<br />

the city. To say that we are “open for business” is an<br />

understatement.<br />

Whether you are a current resident, a business owner<br />

or a visitor, I invite you to look around and discover<br />

how doing business here can be a winning prospect.<br />

Metro <strong>Park</strong> & Ride station should see some ground<br />

breaking this year with several housing projects in the<br />

pipeline.<br />

People have been moving to Leander during the past<br />

decade because of the great school system, choices in<br />

housing and a small-town feel while being right next to<br />

the big city.<br />

Leander continues to be the rising star in Central Texas.
