Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Round Mountain, TX

Round Mountain is an incorporated town in northern Blanco County, Texas, at the junction of U.S. Highway 281 and Farm Road 962 on the eastern edge of the Edwards Plateau, eleven miles north of Johnson City.

The first settler, Joseph Bird, arrived in 1854 and built a log house near the creek, and the settlement was originally known as Birdtown.

Round Mountain's post office was established in 1857 - only the second post office in Blanco County - and the town took its name from a rounded local landmark hill.

Round Mountain became a stage stop on the mail route between Austin and Fredericksburg, and its Round Mountain Stagecoach Inn and Stable of 1874 is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1871 residents obtained a state charter for a school and founded an academy that at one time enrolled 200 students, and the town's elevation gave it a reputation as a health resort.

Round Mountain boomed to about 400 residents by 1896, but declined after 1900; its school was consolidated into the Johnson City Independent School District in 1931.

The town was not incorporated until 1989, more than 130 years after its founding.

Round Mountain covers 2.3 square miles, and the 2020 census counted 101 people living in 57 households, down from a recent peak of 181 in 2010.
