Norman's Crossing (sometimes shortened to just "Norman") is an unincorporated farming community in Williamson County, Texas, United States, founded by Daniel Kimbro ^[1] (1808-1852) in 1846. The community is located on Brushy Creek between Hutto and Rice's Crossing, near the intersection of FM 1660 and FM 3349, approximately 25 miles northeast of Austin.

History

Originally named Avery, it was later known as Norman's Crossing, after M. B. Norman (1856-1921), an Alabama native, who owned a farm and co-operated a cotton gin there. ^[2] In the early 1900s, the town had a church, school, store, a garage shop, and a machine shop. ^[1] Descendants of Kimbro and Norman still live in the area today.
