Located in Hays County, Texas, Dripping Springs was incorporated in 1981, but its history goes much further back in time. Billed as the "Gateway to the Hill Country," the area can trace its roots to the early days of Texas when three families from Mississippi settled in the area in 1853. In 1881, W.T. Chapman developed a twelve-block city plan for Dripping Springs. For most of its existence, Dripping Springs remained a rural area that was prosperous but unincorporated.
