Rockwall has the distinction of being the smallest county
in Texas. The history behind Rockwall's name is filled with great
speculation. While trying to dig water wells in 1851, settlers discovered
an underground rock wall. Because of its man-made appearance, there has
been much discussion about how the wall came into existence. Settlers
believed it was a man-made barrier defining territory. Geologists believe
it is the result of weather sand dikes formed along the Balcones Fault
line. There is still evidence of the rock wall system which out crops at
several points within the county.
