Pflugerville Colored Addition
The Pflugerville Colored Addition is a community located on Farm Road 1825 in West Pflugerville. In 1910, Black workers that worked in the Pflugerville cotton industry and ice factory weren’t allowed to move to Pflugerville or live in city limits. In response to this, La Rue Norton, a farmer who owned 1200 acres of land west of Pflugerville, set aside an acre of his land, split it into lots, and sold the lots of land to Black workers. This page will highlight the Pflugerville Colored Addition’s history and significance in the Austin community.
