The population was 1,370 at the 2020 census, down from 1,455 at the 2010 census.

The city is named for an intersection where seven roads converge. These are not Old West wagon trails, but the town did not exist until nearby Cedar Creek Reservoir was built in the 1960s, and was not incorporated until the 1970s. The seven roads consist of two state highways (three directions), a farm-to-market road, and three county roads.
