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 is always something going on; whether it is a city parade, a community improvement project, holiday festival or just having some fellowship with your neighbors at a backyard barbecue. Find out for yourself why you should consider making Blue Ridge, Texas, your home.

We know fireworks are pretty and fun, but not when they are a danger to others and nearby structures.  This is why fireworks ARE NOT ALLOWED inside the City of Blue Ridge.  If fireworks are on your agenda for the New Year celebration, think about your home and your neighbors.  Fireworks ARE A FIRE HAZARD!!!!! So find a non hazardous way to celebrate!  AND did you know bullets don't stop at your property line??? So when you think about shooting, think who will be the recipient of your bullets.  Who or what??  AND shooting a firearm inside the City is also illegal!

Happy Safe Holidays!!!!
