Eastland, Texas, a premier city with a rich history and a
bright future. Eastland is located on Interstate 20, just over an hours
drive to the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex, and has matured from an oil
and gas driven agricultural and ranching community, to a bustling
business and retail center for a multi-county region. We estimate
Eastland's current population to be around 3,800 people.
Eastland was named for Capt. William M.
Eastland, San Jacinto hero and Texas Ranger.
Current area resources include oil, ranching,
farming and manufacturing. Eastland County
ranks fifth in the state in peanut production. Fruit, pecans,
vegetables, and feed crops are also important economic drivers.
Visitors to Eastland find that Eastland has
not lost its friendly atmosphere or its small-town feel. With a
quality of life considered to be one of the best in the region,
Eastland offers abundant parkland, a historic downtown area,
hunting and fishing recreational opportunities for young and
old, quality rated schools, good housing and a growing business
community.
All of these elements make Eastland a
wonderful place to live, work and raise a family... and a
popular place to do business.

King Kong Update for Feb. 1
01/29/2010 - Despite delays caused by frigid temperatures and unexpected trenching obstacles, the King Kong project seems to be regaining momentum.
This week work will continue along South Daugherty Street from Plummer towards Valley with trenching for the new water line. Just for future reference once the crews reach Valley they plan to turn west on Valley and continue to Dixie St.
Elsewhere crews continue working down South Seaman Street with boring along the intersections at Conner and continuing to Garvin Street. Crews will also be working along East Conner between Seaman and Bassett Streets.
During a construction update meeting held Wednesday it was reported that all work along the Bankhead Highway has been completed and the new service line is in use. Staff also reports some tie in work continues along North College (Hwy. 3101) and should be completed by Friday, Jan. 29 or early the following week.
It was noted demolition of the small water tower (standpipe) at Park Hill may start as early as March. This project, including the construction of a new water tower and the removal of the current large tower, should last until this time next year. More info on this project will follow in the coming days.
When travelling in these ‘construction’ areas please be on the alert and watch for crew members as well as heavy equipment.
Residents and businesses in the areas are also reminded water service interruptions may be necessary at times during the work.
For questions or comments please contact Eastland City Hall at 629-3349.
