The city of Round Rock Texas is a small city located with the outskirts of the Austin metropolitan area. It has approximately 65,000 inhabitants with an average median age of 32.7 years old. It is also the center for many corporations such as Dell and AMD as well as Rice Technology. The majority of inhabitants in this town are white with the minority being Hispanic, Asian, and Black.
The first people to inhabit Round Rock, Texas were the Native American tribe Tonkawa. These first settlers had no written language and stories were told from one generation to the next. In 1837, John McAfee chose a site near Round Rock for his own ranch. He chose this location because of its natural resources and abundant water. In 1848, a post office was established in Round Rock since it was a stop on the stagecoach route between San Antonio and Indianola.

Although its roots are very much in agriculture, Round Rock has become a major center for technology, health care, and education. Residents of this diverse community take pride in their appreciation of the outdoors while not compromising on quality of life.
