for many municipalities in the area, including Rowlett.
Since the lake was formed in the
1970's, its shorelines have become a haven for many waterfowl,

make the lakes' marshes and shorelines for their homes. The lake
is a favorite of local fishermen.

INTERESTING FACT

westward, bringing waves of settlers. The roots of many a Texas
town are the railroad and a cotton gin.

Rowlett in 1889. By the turn of the century, Rowlett was a thriving
farm community with many stores, services and its own school and
churches.
