About Fate

Fate is a fast-growing city in central Rockwall County, about eight miles east of downtown Rockwall on Texas State Highway 66. Its population surged from just a few hundred in 2000 to nearly eighteen thousand by 2020, reflecting the eastward spread of the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The city's name is usually linked to local residents nicknamed Lafayette. Fate is split between Rockwall and Royse City school districts, giving it both small-town roots and a clearly suburban growth trajectory.
