Stephen Austin was notably drawn to the area around the Rio Grande River primarily due to **affordable fertile land**. This region offered the resources necessary for agriculture and settlement, which were key factors for early colonization efforts. Although proximity to New Orleans and access to the Gulf of Mexico were significant for trade and transportation, the fertile land was a primary motivation for Austin's endeavors in Texas.

Yes, I can confirm that Stephen Austin was primarily attracted to the area due to **affordable fertile land**. Austin was instrumental in bringing settlers into what is now Texas, and he sought out land that would be suitable for farming and agriculture. The availability of fertile land was a crucial factor in his decision to establish a colony in that region. While other factors like access to trade routes and the proximity to the Rio Grande were important, the primary draw was indeed the potential for agriculture on affordable land.
