Jollyville is a census-designated place (CDP) in Travis and Williamson Counties in the U.S. state of Texas, 18 miles north of Austin. The population was 15,813 at the 2000 census.

History

The area was first settled by Henry Rhodes after obtaining a land grant in 1841 of about convert|1000|acre|km2|0 from the Republic of Texas. The name, however, comes from a later settler, John Grey Jolly, who purchased convert|160|acre|km2 in 1866. John and his wife, Nancy Isabell Jolly, operated a blacksmith shop and store. The Jollys donated land for a school and the cemetery in which they were eventually buried. Jollyville remained lightly settled for decades; only twenty families lived in the area in 1960. Eventually, the growth of nearby Austin led to the development of Jollyville as a suburban community.
