ROYSE CITY:

A BOOMTOWN BEYOND BELIEF EMBODIES EXPANSION

Royse City: Charming Community's Incredible Growth

Royse City's close proximity to the heart of the Dallas metroplex has made it the center of booming growth over the last 25 years. Its location ensures accessibility to a vast pool of employment opportunities, cultural amenities, and entertainment options, making Royse City an attractive destination for both residents and businesses alike.


However, it's been able to grow so quickly while maintaining its distinct small-town charm. From its quaint downtown adorned with historic buildings and locally-owned shops to its welcoming neighborhoods where neighbors know each other by name, Royse City fosters a close-knit atmosphere that embodies a sense of belonging and pride.

2,000 to 20,000+ in 20 Years

Royse City's population growth has been nothing short of explosive since the turn of the millennium.


Its reputation as a comfortable commuter town began in the early 2000s, and the population jumped by more than 7,000 people during that decade. But that spoke nothing of what was yet to come.


The population was 13,500 by 2020 and in the 4 years since has jumped to over 25,000

Additionally, the city's pro-business environment, low taxes, and favorable regulatory climate further incentivize investors seeking stable returns and long-term growth potential.


Its location along major transportation corridors, such as Interstate 30 and State Highway 66, facilitates seamless connectivity and enhances its appeal as a logistics and distribution hub.


With its proximity to Dallas, diverse economic base, strong population growth, and burgeoning real estate market, Royse City offers investors a compelling opportunity to capitalize on the city's momentum and secure sustainable returns on their investments.

ROYSE CITY:

A "MAIN STREET CITY" WITH LOTS OF HISTORY

Origin of "Royce City"'s Name

Garrett "Byrd" Royse was born in 1838 and came to Texas after fighting in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Royse bought several tracts of land, and his family was instrumental in getting the MK&T Railroad brought from Greenville to Dallas through Rockwall County.


Family legend has it that Royse told the MK&T Railroad people that he would donate the land for a train station, only if they'd call it "Royse City."

Main Street Today!

In 2007, Royse City was designated as an official Texas Main Street City. The Royse City Main Street program was set up to promote the city's downtown area, where the goals are to foster a thriving business district while preserving historic buildings.


Main Street is now the heart of the city and holds regular events hoping to bring people together and strengthen the community while simultaneously showing people how they arrived there.
