Founded in 1854, became seat of Rockwall County (the smallest county in Texas) in 1874. Named for subterranean rock formation that has been the subject of study for years. Although there has been speculation the wall was built by prehistoric man, geologists believe the phenomenon is a finger of the Balcones Fault with the “wall” formed when geologic stress split the formation. Rockwall has
scenic rolling hills and sits on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard. A golf course is near Lake Ray Hubbard.
