      Geography


      Roma Creek is located at 26°25′9″N 99°1′6.5″W (26.419189, -99.018475).
      Roma Creek was first listed as a census designated place in the 2000 U.S. Census. Prior to the 2010 U.S. Census, portions of Roma Creek were annexed to the city of Roma and parts were taken to form three new CDPs (Evergreen, Fronton Ranchettes, and Ramos). As a result, the total area was reduced to 0.2 square miles (0.5 km2), all land. The remainder of the CDP was absorbed by the city of Roma prior to the 2020 U.S. Census.
