In 1860, a man named William Bohls opened a humble general store and post office in honor of his friend Henry Pfluger, the area’s first settler—and just like that, Pflugerville was born. What began as a quiet prairie town has since blossomed into one of Central Texas’ fastest-growing communities. Today, historic downtown streets hold tight to their Texan charm with local shops, family-run restaurants, and beloved traditions like the annual Deutschen Pfest. With quick access to TX-130 and SH-45, residents enjoy a smooth ride into Austin for work or play—while coming home to sunsets over open fields and the calm that only wide horizons can bring. Empire Homes welcomes you to Pflugerville: a town with deep roots, big skies, and a future that’s still unfolding.
Pflugerville has always known how to grow—first from the soil, and now as one of Central Texas’ most sought-after towns. Pflüger, meaning “plowman” in German, speaks to a legacy of hard work, community spirit, and a future built with both hands. Even as the town booms, it still tips its hat to its heritage at the annual Deutschen Pfest—three days of bratwurst, live music, and cheerful “Guten Tag, y’all!” greetings echoing through Pfluger Park. With TX-130 and SH-45 connecting residents to Austin in under 20 minutes, Pflugerville stays close to the capital’s energy—without ever losing its small-town soul. Here, new roots grow deep and entwine with the ones planted generations ago.
Pflugerville’s got a knack for celebration—whether it’s national pride or small-town charm. Pfluger Park hosts seasonal “Pfestivals,” where families gather under the shade to enjoy music, good eats, and a bit of Texas cheer. Throughout the year, locals come together for everything from the all-American spectacle of Independence Day Pfireworks, to Pet Pfest for furry friends, and fresh finds at the town Pfarmers Market. Life here is full of little joys—and folks know how to celebrate each one. When the big-city buzz calls, Austin is just down the road with its food trucks, concerts, and colorful streets. Creative acts, bold businesses, and dreamers of all stripes have found their stage in Austin—and Pflugerville lets you enjoy it all, without giving up the peace of home.
