Round Rock Homes for Sale
Round Rock
Round Rock is rich with history, originally named Brushy because of its location on Brushy Creek. The city is located on the Chisholm Trail or what was a feeder road off the main Trail. It was a route for moving cattle and goods to and from the Midwest. This town is also known for the infamous robber Sam Bass, who only started robbing trains and stages after he went broke trying to mine gold. He was killed in a shootout and is buried in the Round Rock Cemetery. And yes, there is an actual round rock located in Brushy Creek which is one of Round Rock’s most visited spots.
We now have a great site that has a strong focus on just Round Rock homes.
