Royse City, City in Rockwall County, Texas
Royse City is a city that spreads across three counties—Rockwall, Hunt, and Collin—in East Texas. The municipality includes residential neighborhoods and commercial areas that developed over many decades.
A railway company founded the city in 1885 when a businessman named G.B. Royse began selling the first plots of land. This rail connection helped the community grow over time.
The population of Royse City includes diverse communities with 61 percent non-Hispanic white, 23 percent Hispanic, 8 percent African American, and other ethnic groups.
Interstate 30 and Texas State Highway 66 make it easy to drive to Dallas and other nearby places in the region. Visitors can navigate the area by following these main roadways.
The old railway station from 1885 still stands in the town center and reminds visitors of the rail origins. This building shows why the place came into being.
