Kat is an 8 th generation Texan and her Leander roots can be traced back to her 4 th great-grandfather,

and later as Leander. She was born January 1, 1969 making her the New Year’s Baby for the city of

where history was alive and active every day. She tagged along with family as they interviewed people
whose memories stretched back to the cattle drive era. She was also included on trips to archeological
digs exploring the ancient history of Central Texas. This led to a deep understanding of local history and
a passion for sharing it with others.

and executive boards. She has also served on various City of Leander’s commissions and boards for over
20 years. She is currently a member of the Leander Historical Preservation Commission where they are

to Leander has the opportunity to get to know this history too. – Kat Howell
