Round Rock Travel Guide

Texas is a state full of different natural settings, prairies, lakes, dry deserts, and much more. To explore this great natural diversity then definitely plan a trip to Round Rock. Round Rock is a big city in Texas, in Williamson County and is a part of the Greater Austin Metropolitan Area. Ever since Round Rock was settled it was used for agriculture because the black soil of the prairie is very fertile and perfect for farming. First it was used for cotton fields which brought money to the city and made it pretty wealthy, then various crops took over the farms. Round Rock was settled by Americans in 1851. Round Rock was named after the landmark of a round rock which marks the sport where settles moved through the shallow waters with their wagons.
