History in a
Pecan Shell
1892: Llano
was incorporated, the Llano River was bridged, and the Austin and
Northwestern Railroad opened a depot on the north side of the Llano
River. This was also the year the courthouse burned.
1935: The Roy Inks Bridge was built after a flood swept away
the 1892 bridge.
In the famous drought of the early 50s - the Llano River actually
went dry on two separate occasions. |

Both bridges: SH 16 over Llano River (Roy Inks Bridge) and SH 29 over
Colorado River (Inks Lake Bridge)
below Buchanan Dam were built by Austin Bridge Company in the 1930's.
