Buda, City in Hays County, Texas, United States.
Located 15 miles southwest of Austin, Buda spans across 5.4 square miles of land with Onion Creek flowing through its northwest section.
Established in 1881 as Du Pre along the International-Great Northern Railroad, the city changed its name to Buda in 1887 due to postal conflicts.
The annual Budafest in December brings together residents and visitors for three days of performances, crafts, food vendors, and community activities.
The city operates under Stage 3 Drought Restrictions, requiring residents to follow specific water conservation measures throughout the municipality.
According to local records, the name Buda derives from 'viuda', Spanish for widow, referencing women who operated the Carrington Hotel for railroad travelers.
