The first post office opened on April 5, 1880, and it was called “Morris” after Postmaster Austin Morris. Later it was renamed Rowlett.
In 2019, the City of Rowlett gained regional recognition when Sapphire Bay Development, LLC and the City published plans to construct a master planned community in the middle of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
Rowlett is a growing, upscale community with nearly $1.5 billion in development in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, located on Lake Ray Hubbard.
Rowlett, as a fast growing community for housing and business, is a great place for local creative, innovative and self-starter entrepreneurs to launch an online or offline business.
Business startups like retail sales, clothing, fashion, healthcare, legal, restaurants, online sales, cleaning services, makeup, beauty and construction are always in demand in a growing community. Shop Local! Buy Local!
