Back

Weatherford is a city in north-central Texas and the seat of Parker County, positioned about 20 miles west of Fort Worth on the western edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Named for Thomas J. Weatherford, an early settler, the city grew around its role as a county seat and crossroads for the ranching and agricultural country of Parker County. Its population was about 31,000 at the 2020 census, with the wider county home to more than 150,000 people. The city's identity rests on two long-standing traditions. It has long been known as the Peach Capital of Texas, a claim tied to the orchards and the annual Peach Festival that draws crowds each year. It also anchors a ranching and equestrian heritage that remains visible in the acreage properties and horse farms surrounding the city, and in its Western-influenced downtown culture. Weatherford's location gives residents a blend of small-town character and metro access. The historic courthouse square, with its Victorian storefronts, sits at the center of civic life, while newer commercial and residential development spreads along the city's outskirts. Fort Worth's employment centers are a short drive east, making Weatherford a commuter base for people who want larger lots, more space, and a slower pace than the urban core while staying connected to the Metroplex. The population spans long-established Parker County families, Fort Worth commuters, and newcomers drawn by new construction and the area's equestrian lifestyle. The city balances its agricultural past with steady suburban growth, and its parks, gardens, and community events keep the downtown a focal point for residents.
