Weatherford is a historic town and proud of its heritage. Located just 20 minutes west of Fort Worth, the city prides itself in its tradition and history. Weatherford is known for its community and family oriented way of life. Because of that, the city is becoming one of the premier places to live in the North Texas area. The residents of Weatherford have helped the mayor develop a vision for Weatherford that balances its rich, western and pioneer heritage with progress and economic vitality. That’s why the city’s motto is “Growing with Tradition.”
Visitors to Weatherford can enjoy its treasures, including a historic shopping district full of antique, boutique and specialty stores as well as restaurants. The city owned and operated Chandor Gardens and the love-story to be discovered within its walls provide a place for residents and visitors to escape from the hectic pace of today’s society. Its old-time Farmers’ Market, First Monday Trades Days, and a bounty of Victorian-era homes bring visitors to the city to share in its desire to maintain its heritage as it grows toward the future.
