Fate is a city located in the center of Rockwall County, Texas, United States.

At that time, land ownership, a post office, and the railroad played a vital role in the naming of the City of Fate.

A post office was established in Fate on July 13, 1880, with Harvey Peyton White as its postmaster.

This brought rapid growth to the area and spurred both Fate and Barnes to combine into one town on February 11, 1887, in order to allow residents access to postal services and the railroad.

The town grew to include four doctors, two cotton gins, two grocery stores, a barbershop, a butcher, a confectionary, a grain elevator, and a newspaper called The Fate Review.

The great depression of the 1930s caused economic hardship to farmers in the area and forced many to lose their land.

By the 1990s Fate's population had grown to 475 with a grocery store, upholstery, printer, and restaurants calling the town home.

Persons age 25 or older who graduated high school was 95.8%, with 44.6% of those adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher.

As well as, Lupe Garcia Elementary, which opened at the start of the 2021–2022 school year and is located in the Williamsburg subdivision.
