Dear Friends:
It is with a great deal of excitement and anticipation that I am able to introduce you to Farmers Branch, Texas – the best place in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to live, work, play, learn and raise a family.
As the oldest settlement in Dallas County, Farmers Branch is a community that is steeped in Texas heritage with very deep roots. Our Historical Park is one of the best-kept secrets in the area where visitors can take a walk back in time and lose themselves amongst the historical buildings and gardens. However, as much as we revere our history, Farmers Branch has its eye firmly fixed on the future. We continue to be a progressive community in the 21st century, constantly expanding our commercial base, our transportation options and the infrastructure and services that keep residents here for a lifetime.
Farmers Branch is centrally located in the Metroplex. We are bordered by two interstate highways and two toll roads and are less than 15 minutes from both Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field. Farmers Branch certainly enjoys the distinct benefit of location. Additionally, the coming of Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Light Rail system to Farmers Branch in 2010 will further solidify our reputation as a premier transportation hub for North Texas.
Our services are unparalleled, as are our people. From the children’s games at the Manske Library to the adult fitness classes at the Recreation Center to the constant flurry of activities at the Senior Center and the lush beauty of our 28 parks, Farmers Branch truly offers something for the entire family.
Currently, the City is experiencing widespread revitalization which has prepared our neighborhoods for the next few decades. Many have coined Farmers Branch as the next “hot spot” in North Dallas because of our central location, outstanding quality of life and excellent City services. I invite you to experience the Farmers Branch way of life.
I look forward to meeting you personally and welcoming you to the premier community of Farmers Branch, Texas.
Sincerely,
Tim O’Hare
Mayor
