Answer:

Bastrop - a city in the United States, located in the state of Texas, the administrative center of the eponymous district. The city is named after the commoner Philip Hendrick Nering Bogel, who was wanted in his homeland in the Netherlands for misappropriation of other people's property and was hiding in Texas under the name Felipe Enrique Neri, Baron de Bastrop. This man helped Stephen Austin and his father Moses to get land grants and served with them for some time as a land commissioner. In 1827, after the death of Bastrop, Austin convinced the Mexican authorities to name the new settlement of 100 families by his name.
