[3] During its history, the community has also been referred to as "Round Head," "Round Heads," "Round Headstown," and "Roundheads Town." [4] A post office has been in operation at Roundhead since 1837. [5]

An archaeological site, the Zimmerman Kame, is located in the Roundhead vicinity; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [6]
