About the Local Legend Awards

The Local Legend Award recognizes individuals, families, businesses, groups, publications, or organizations that have had a positive and lasting impact on the culture, development, and history of Round Rock. Each year’s Legends receive a certificate and are honored by the City Council.

Local Legends are selected based on the following criteria:

• Importance to the City’s founding or growth
• Association with an historic place or event
• Impact of service to the community’s history, development or culture
• Achievements that have brought honor and distinction to the City of Round Rock

Appointments are made in early summer; please contact the Planning and Development Services Department at 512-218-5428 for a selection committee application.
