Williamson County, County in Central Texas, United States.
Williamson County is an administrative unit in central Texas in the United States, stretching between the western Edwards Plateau and the eastern Blackland Prairies. Georgetown serves as the administrative seat and provides access to municipal services, while smaller towns lie scattered across the gently rolling landscape.
The administrative unit was founded in March 1848, when Texas as a new state organized and opened further territories. The naming recalls a ranger and judge who played a role in the Texan independence movement.
The name honors Robert McAlpin Williamson, a pioneer of Texan independence who worked as a ranger and judge despite a leg injury. His traces appear today in the English-speaking and Hispanic communities that shape the area together.
Most services and agencies are located in Georgetown, which can be reached by car from different directions. Public meetings and official appointments take place in buildings around the town center.
In May 1921, the town of Thrall experienced a devastating cloudburst in which enormous amounts of rain flooded the terrain within a few hours. This event is considered to this day one of the most severe natural disasters in the history of Texas.
