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.

Eastland’s VIP program will meet once a month for eight months, starting in February and ending in September. At the end of the program, Eastland will have a preservation action plan that will make historic buildings and other assets fundamental parts of continued economic and cultural growth.
Your participation is essential! Please join us for the VIP Town Meeting on Thursday, March 4, 2010, 6 P.M. at the Daugherty Street Church of Christ Fellowship Hall.
