Welcome. Mayor Jim Pruitt On behalf of the residents of Rockwall, the Rockwall City Council, and City Staff, I welcome you to the web site of one of the fastest growing cities in the Dallas Metroplex. Rockwall was founded in 1854 and is the County Seat of Rockwall County.
The Warriors changed their name to the Golden State Warriors for the 1971â72 season, playing almost all home games in Oakland. Six home games were played in San Diego during that season but more significantly, none were played in San Francisco or Daly City.
The Oakland Raiders of the American Football League moved to Frank Youell Field, a makeshift stadium near downtown Oakland, in 1962, and the Coliseum was already being heralded in the local media as the Raiders' future permanent home. Baseball was also a major factor in the planning of the Coliseum.
