Welcome to City of Blue Ridge, TX City of Blue Ridge... Home of the Last Texas Prairie!
We are a great little town just off the normal beaten path. Geographically, we are part of the DFW Metroplex but it really is hard to remember the city is so close when you live here. Small town life and Texas rural values are a big part of our culture. This is a place where getting to know your neighbors is still considered polite.
If you live in the big city and are looking for a more friendly place to live, a better place to raise children, then maybe you should give us a call or drive out here and hang out for an afternoon. There are many reasons people move to this area - some for nearby job opportunities, affordable housing, good educational facilities, and best of all the warm weather. Find out for yourself why you should consider making Blue Ridge, Texas, your home.
We are working on upgrading our Downtown!!! Here's a Sneak Peak!
And this can be seen from Space!!!!
So PLEASE hang in there and Pardon Our Progress!!
