I-35 @ exit 213 Soon to be the largest city in Hays County, the City of Kyle was founded in 1880 by nearby settlers from the communities of Blanco and Mountain City. Fergus Kyle, for whom the town was named, and the family of David Moore donated 200 acres of land for a town site when the International and Great Northern Railroad built a line from Austin to San Antonio. Lots were first sold in October 1880 at an auction held beneath a Live Oak tree at 204 Sledge Street. And thus the rich history and tradition of Kyle began. Today, in 2007, the City is estimated at 28,000, but if all the subdivisions being built were finished Kyle would be well over 80,000.
