Cedar Park

Cedar Park, in southwestern Williamson County, is on Cluck Creek and US 183 some sixteen miles northwest of Austin. In earlier days the community and the creek were named Running Brushy, after a heavy-flowing spring that formed the headwaters of the creek.

On February 24, 1973, Cedar Park citizens voted to incorporate. In the 1980s Cedar Park comprised shopping centers, numerous other businesses, and rapidly multiplying dwellings. In the early 1990s it reported 206 rated businesses and more than 5,300 residents.
