Rockwall

Texas is a state located in the Southern and Western regions of the United States of America. The state is second-largest in both area and population behind Alaska and California, respectively. The state's name derives from a word in the Caddoan language of the Hasinai. Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836 and existed as the independent Republic of Texas for nearly a decade. Texas is internationally known for its energy and aeronautics industries, and for its ship channel at the Port of Houston, the largest in the U.S. in international commerce and the sixth-largest port in the world.

Rockwall was founded in 1854 and is the county seat of Rockwall County. Rockwall is approximately 22 miles east of downtown Dallas on Interstate 30 with a population of just over 25,000 in 1980, the population of Rockwall was 5,939. Rockwall has an advantage of being near the Dallas Metroplex without losing its rural atmosphere, and proudly maintains one of the highest-ranking school systems and one of the lowest tax rates within the State of Texas.

Rockwall is definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in Texas worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place leaves a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justifies the proud cultural tradition of Texas.
