Ellis County, Texas
Ellis County is just south of Dallas. This county offers a taste of small-town Texas with a side of big city convenience. Waxahachie is the county seat and is known for its stunning courthouse. It’s a film location favorite.
The whole county bursts with color each spring. Bluebonnets carpet the fields. It’s a sight to see. Agriculture is still big here. Cotton was once king but now it’s a mix of crops and cattle.
The county’s growing fast with new neighborhoods springing up. But there’s still plenty of open space. Old-timers and newcomers mix and mingle. It’s a place in transition, holding onto its roots while embracing change.
