Its original name is honored by local businesses such as Waterloo Ice House and Waterloo Records.

Residents of Austin are known as Austinites and include a mix of university professors, students, politicians, lobbyists, state employees and high-tech workers. The city is home to enough large sites of major technology corporations to have earned the nickname "Silicon Hills".
