Crime Scene & Biohazard Cleanup Near Stonewater Manor, TX

Manor is a city in Travis County, Texas, located about 12 miles northeast of Austin on U.S. Highway 290 in the Austin-Round Rock metropolitan area.

Manor was named in 1872 for James Manor, an early settler who had served as the area's first postmaster; the local post office, briefly called Gregg, changed its name to Manor that year.

Manor got its start as a railroad town: the Houston and Texas Central Railway was built through the community in 1871, giving local farmers a way to ship cotton, cottonseed, and grain.

By the mid-1880s Manor had about 125 residents, a district school, three churches, and six general stores, and it grew to roughly 1,000 people by the late 1920s before the Great Depression shrank it again.

Manor counted just 5,037 residents in the 2010 census, but the population more than doubled to 13,652 in the 2020 census as Austin's suburbs pushed east.

Manor is one of the fastest-growing suburbs of Austin, and the Census Bureau estimated its population had already reached 23,070 by 2025.

Manor has about 6,379 households according to Census Bureau figures for 2020-2024, with an average of about 2.92 people per household.

Manor was ranked the seventh fastest-growing suburb in America in 2018 by Realtor.com.

Public schools in Manor are run by the Manor Independent School District, which includes Manor High School and Manor New Tech High School.
