It is often referred to as the Downtown Mosque or the University Mosque. Nueces was established in 1977 by the Muslim Students' Association at the University of Texas. It was the first mosque in Austin and initially was named the Islamic Center of Greater Austin (ICGA). The mosque started in a 2000 sq. ft. building without any parking spaces. It was expanded in 1982 with the purchase of an adjacent building that was remodeled into a prayer hall. It was here that Peace Elementary School, the first accredited full-time Islamic School in Austin, was established. It was here that the Muslim community in Austin grew and flourished. From 1982 until 1999, the Muslim community was barely able to manage its activities in those two buildings. By the mercy of Allah (SWT) and the generous support of the local and outside communities, in November 1999, ICGA moved into a larger facility on Manor Road.
