Inhalt:

Rockwall owes its name to a unique underground formation discovered by three men digging a well. In 1852, Terry Utley Wade, Benjamin Boydstun, and William Clay Stevenson exposed what they termed a arock wall.a When a city name was needed in 1854, Rockwall was chosen. In the 1880s, the railroadas arrival had a significant impact on the area and ushered in cotton as the main cash crop. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Rockwall was the epitome of small-town Texas: Yellow Jacket football on Friday nights, movies at the Ritz theatre on the square, lunch at the Mecca CafA(c), milk shakes at Cunninghamas Drugstore, and watching television through the front window of Payneas Appliances. Resting on the banks of Lake Ray Hubbard and sitting in Dallasas shadow, Rockwall is faced with the unique challenge of balancing rapid growth while maintaining its historic charm.
