The Spicewood post office itself moved (2000) from its original location in Spicewood, one mile south to Hollingsworth Corner, and now serves a 100 mi2 area in three counties, Burnet, Blanco, and Travis, leading many served to incorrectly believe they actually "live in" old Spicewood-proper.

Local businesses prospered when Farm to Market Road 93 (present-day State Highway 71) was built through the area during the 1940s.
