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 km), all land. The remainder of the CDP was absorbed by the city of Roma prior to the 2020 U.S. Census.
