The Chisholm Trail Area is where Round Rock was established, it all started where the Chisholm Trail crossed Brushy Creek. The Brushy Creek 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.
