Events

"Named for a distinctive rock formation that marks a natural, picturesque ford, Round Rock is a reflection of the past. Nomadic people lived here for countless ages, leaving clues of their existence for future generations. Explorers and frontier travelers visited the area bounded by rolling hills to the west and fertile fields to the east. The location became a permanent name on the map when settlers made the site their home in 1851." (Book blurb: Round Rock by Bob Brinkman) The historical marker for 'The Round Rock' of Round Rock can be located via this link.
