Round Rock History
Round Rock city was originally called Brushy. The initial settlement of Brushy was located near Brushy Creek right by the round rock shown in this picture. Round Rock was on the old Chisholm Trail. You can see ruts of the old wagons in the rock of the creek bottom on Chisholm Trail where the famed round rock lies in Brushy Creek. The outlaw Sam Bass is also associated with Round Rock spending his final days there. His gravestone can be seen in Round Rock Cemetary.

Round Rock TX Bats
Round Rock has a huge urban bat colony under IH-35 known as the McNeil Bridge Bats. In the Summer they fly out about 8:20pm. In about 8 minutes they will be flying out in full force- swirling streams of black bats flying eastward en mass to eat lots of mosquitos and other insects. They are under the overpass before 620. When heading north on IH 35, look for them just before exit 252.
