Round Top is a town in Fayette County, Texas, United States. The population was 87 at the 2020 census. As a part of the Stephen F. Austin colony, James Winn acquired 4,428 acres in 1831; the present townsite was included in this tract. The community was originally known as "Townsend", after early settler Nathaniel Townsend. Later the town was renamed "Round Top", since the postmaster lived in a house with a round tower. Portions of Nassau Plantation were purchased by the Adelsverein, and settlement by German immigrants began 1845 to 1847; these settlers began buying up the local farms and the town lots.
