History
Established in 1895.

Austin’s first city-wide street lighting system, inaugurated in 1895, began with 31 moonlight towers standing 165 feet high at locations throughout the city. Today, while 17 of the towers remain in service, Austin’s electric system has grown to include a total of more than 9,000 miles of overhead and underground power lines covering a 437 square mile area.
