Brock is an incorporated town in Parker County, Texas, United States.
James Monroe Maddux (born February 16, 1818) and Sarah Naomi (born June 24, 1824) were married in Georgia and had 12 children. The family moved to Arkansas and then to Olive Branch, (now Brock) Texas in 1876. The Maddux family was very religious and saw at once the need for a church and a school in the Brock community (originally named Olive Branch). On February 7, 1880, land for the churches, cemetery, and school in Brock were given to the community by James M. and Sarah N. Maddux.
John Henry Brock, another early settler, purchased land in the surrounding area in 1876. His wife, Polly, ran the post office. Since there were many communities that surrounded Olive Branch, mail was brought to Mrs. Brock to determine where to deliver them. Hence, mail would come to "Brock" for short. The name Olive Branch was later changed to Brock, in honor of Mrs. Polly Brock, postmistress. By 1892, the community had multiple businesses, a post office, and a school. [2] In November 2016, local voters approved a proposition to incorporate Brock. [3] At the same time, the nearby city of Weatherford investigated the process of involuntarily annexing land in or near the Brock area. [4]
