Why Stop in Denton County???

What are the three top reasons to stop in Denton County? The answer is simple: location, location, location.
Being situated less than 30 miles from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Denton County offers the perfect location for business and family. Both DFW Airport and Fort Worth Alliance Airport are easily accessible. I-35, the official NAFTA Superhighway, is the county’s primary north-south ground artery. In fact, we have more miles of I-35 than any other county in the United States. Being home to the University of North Texas, Texas Woman’s University, and North Central Texas College, Denton County has a deep and diverse pool of educated labor.
Denton County, with a population of more than 530,000, offers suburban comforts without city hassle and congestion. Bustling communities, outstanding schools, excellent healthcare facilities, and thriving businesses provide all the necessities and conveniences of contemporary life. Our rich historic past, such as the recently restored 1896 courthouse-on-the-square in Denton, is a lively part of our present and future.
Denton County provides a broad spectrum of recreational and entertainment options. A crowded college sports calendar and proximity to the home stadiums of major professional sports teams (Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Maverick, Dallas Stars) means year-round cheering for sports enthusiasts. Denton County can boast more than a dozen golf courses, and NASCAR fans will be delighted to find the Texas Motor Speedway inside the western border of the county.
Denton County’s scenic lakes (Lake Lewisville, Lake Ray Roberts and Lake Grapevine), woods and its abundant wildlife offer ample opportunities for boating, hunting, horseback riding and other outdoor sports. Yet our tranquil rural beauty is less than 30 minutes from the DFW Metroplex.
The ideal place to launch a career or raise a family, Denton County combines the best of urban, suburban and rural worlds.County Judge Mary Horn
