Texas Indians and Europeans alike were drawn to the area of Lampasas. The city was first called Burleson in 1850 by settler John Burleson. Later, the town name was changed to Lampasas Springs due to the area’s seven springs —two of which produce 3 million gallons of water a day.

In 1883, the city of Lampasas became the official name of the growing region. Today, Lampasas is home 7,291, according to the 2020 U.S. Census.
