In 1856 a Tennessee native by the name of Thomas Calvin Weir settled in the area now known as Weir. He bought land and became a well known local as well as a successful farmer and is considered the founder of Weir Texas. The early success of Weir can be attributed to the fertile agriculture to the east as well as the prosperous ranchland in the Hill Country to the west. In 1893 the Granger and Georgetown Railroad put Weir on the map as a stop for the rail line and the town of Weir was officially established that same year. Weir is home to nearly 640 residents. The town is located just 6 miles from Georgetown and only 30 miles from downtown Austin.
