It is the oldest psychiatric facility in the state of Texas, and the first hospital of its kind built west of the Mississippi River.[1] HistoryThe hospital was established by the Legislature in 1856, and began operating in 1861 with twelve patients.[2] The name was changed in 1925.[3] It's currently operated by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The Hospital is the subject of a history by Sarah C. Sitton, Life at the Texas State Lunatic Asylum 1857 - 1997, published by the Texas A&M University Press in 1999 as Number 82 in the Centennial Series.[4] Austin State Hospital's Volunteer Services Council (VSC) is a 501(c)(3) corporation. The VSC conducts fundraiser and donation programs and helps build community awareness about mental illness and the role of Austin State Hospital in the treatment of mental illness.
