For Round Top to maintain the dignity of being an incorporated city, Round Top must pay for a great many public services which could have been turned over to the county government.  

The town incorporated in 1870. 
Round  Top Rifle Association formed in 1873. 
Do-Your-Duty Club was founded in 1935.  

These three organizations keep the town the pleasant, self-sufficient place it is.
