Williamson County has been the fastest-growing large county in Texas and one of the top-growing counties in the entire United States for several consecutive years. The county seat is Georgetown, and it encompasses Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, Taylor, Florence, and dozens of smaller communities across a broad swath of Central Texas.

Georgetown — The County Seat

Georgetown's historic downtown square is one of the best-preserved Victorian commercial districts in Texas. Monument Café anchors the dining scene with farm-to-table American comfort food. Inner Space Cavern just south of town is the county's most unique attraction — a pristine cave system discovered during I-35 construction in 1963.

Round Rock — The Commercial Hub

Round Rock has grown into the county's commercial hub, home to major employers, Round Rock Premium Outlets, the Salt Lick BBQ, and the legendary Round Rock Donuts. It's also home to three of Central Texas's top party rental companies: Sandi's Moonwalks, Jump Around Party Rentals, and Hop A Lot Moonwalks.

Florence — The Rural Heart

Florence represents the more rural character of western Williamson County. We Bring The Party, LLC out of Florence serves the county's rural and acreage communities with bounce house and party rentals — filling a gap that urban-focused operators leave open.

Hutto — The Hippo City

Hutto is affectionately known as "Hippo City" for its beloved hippo mascot, which appears throughout downtown public art. The Hutto Community Library serves this fast-growing eastern Williamson County community with programs, resources, and free Wi-Fi.
