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.
Gottlieb bought the team in 1951. The Warriors won their other championship as a Philadelphia team in the 1955â56 season, defeating the Fort Wayne Pistons four games to one. The stars of this era in the team's history were future Hall of Famers Paul Arizin, Tom Gola and Neil Johnston.
