Every town has a first chapter, and Rock Island is no exception. Rock Island was settled in 1896 as part of a land promotion on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad and was first called Crasco, for nearby Crasco Creek. In 1897 landowner Charles Petersen renamed the town for the Rock Island Railroad Company, and he became its first postmaster. From 39 farming families at the start, Rock Island grew to 367 people by 1904 and reached 500 by 1925. That's from the Handbook of Texas.
Rock Island is a community in Colorado County. The Census Bureau counted 228 people here in 2020.
