Rockett is an unincorporated community in Ellis County, Texas, United States. It is located on FM 813, approximately five miles northeast of Waxahachie. ==History== Rockett was settled in 1846, making it one of the oldest settlements in Ellis County. Missourian Hans Smith and his family were among the first settlers in the area. They chose a site along Red Oak Creek, southeast of the present-day community. Other families followed. Originally known as Liberty, the name was changed to Rockett in 1852 after local store owner John Rockett, who placed the first cotton gin in the area.〔 The community continued to grow and a post office opened in 1894. It remained in operation until January 2, 1907.〔 By 1933, Rockett had an estimated population of 150 and two businesses. As of 2000, there were approximately 124 people living in the community.〔 In recent years, the building of several new subdivisions has brought more residents to the area.〔 Despite its rural surroundings, Rockett (and all of Ellis County) is considered part of the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area.
