Round Rock TX apartments for rent

Founded in 1851, Round Rock, Texas was originally named Brushy Creek. Brushy Creek had a distinguishing feature — a large, round rock jutted out of the creek where the water was low. During the Civil War, the round rock was used by Jesse Chisholm to cross the creek, and the town was renamed in 1854.
