Rockwall County is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas. It is Texas's smallest county in land area. In 2000, its population was 43,080. Its seat is Rockwall. Rockwall County forms part of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
The county was founded in 1873 because access to the county seat of Kaufman County, of which county the area was then a part, was inconvenient for the residents of what became Rockwall County. The county and city are named for a wall-like subterranean rock formation that runs throughout the county.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 149 square miles (385 km²), making it the smallest county in Texas. 129 square miles (334 km²) of it is land and 20 square miles (52 km²) of it (13.39%) is water.
