Back in 1851, the first rumblings of a city began to emerge on the banks of Brushy Creek. In the middle of the creek, there was a round rock that marked a low point in the water perfect for crossing. This round rock was so pivotal to Native Americans and settlers that it was forever immortalized as the name of the town. These days, you can visit the original Round Rock and its nearby historical marker to pay homage to the city’s unique history.
