History[edit]

Sigel's Liquor in Mobile City

Originally a mobile home park outside of city limits, it was incorporated on January 25, 1990 so that a beer, wine, and liquor store could open. After incorporation, the roads through the park were paved for the first time and full-time security was provided to the residents at no charge to them. Until fall 2007 it was the only city within Rockwall County that allowed alcohol sales (excluding restaurants).[citation needed]
