Chisholm Trail Historic Sites
The Historic Round Rock Collection is a project documenting Round Rock's history, funded in part with a grant from the Texas Historical Commission. These pages are adapted from the original 1991 print version.
Historic sites in the Chisholm Trail area
Round Rock was first established where the Chisholm Trail crossed Brushy Creek. The low water crossing was marked with a round, table-shaped rock that gave the town its name. Later the railroad was extended to a location 3/4 mile away, and commercial activity followed. The area by the station then became known as New Town (now Downtown) and the original settlement as Old Town. Click image to open a larger map.
