The Historic Round Rock Collection
Historical Markers
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; later additions have been made by staff. Recent Round Rock news is given in the News feature.
There are many marked historical sites in and around Round Rock. Some have been designated as Texas Historic Landmarks and are on the National Register of Historic Places. Most of these properties display a National Register plaque, sometimes with explanatory text.
At this time Round Rock does not have an official plaque to indicate local designation, but a few properties have descriptive plaques provided by civic groups. Click image above to open a larger map. Additional information is available about some properties on the Historic Architecture page.
