Rowlett: Lake Ray Hubbard and the Eastern Edge of Dallas County
Rowlett forms a peninsula that extends into Lake Ray Hubbard, the 22,745-acre reservoir created by the Rockwall-Forney Dam on the East Fork of the Trinity River. The lake was completed in 1969 and supplies drinking water to Dallas while functioning as one of the primary recreational waters of the eastern Metroplex. Roughly 30 miles of shoreline sit within Rowlett's city limits, more than any other municipality on the reservoir.
The city straddles the Dallas and Rockwall county line, with the majority of its territory in Dallas County. Incorporation came in 1952, but significant residential development did not begin until Interstate 30 was extended across the lake in the 1970s. DART light rail reached Rowlett in 2012 with the opening of the Rowlett Station at the east end of the Blue Line, making it the northeastern terminus of the Dallas rail network.
On December 26, 2015, an EF4 tornado struck Rowlett as part of the same storm system that hit Garland that evening, killing 13 across North Texas. The Rowlett tornado destroyed more than 600 homes, primarily in the Lakeview Summit and Waterview neighborhoods along the lake. Reconstruction took several years and prompted revisions to the city's building codes.
