Erath County
Stephenville, Texas is uniquely located in rural Texas, one hour southwest of Dallas/Ft Worth for easy access to metropolitan amenities and a major airport, yet isolated from big city stress. A city of over 20,000 friendly people, Stephenville is an inviting, gracious community with a rich western heritage in a beautiful country setting along the Bosque River. It is distinctively Texan-independent, hardworking, and educated. Known as the “Cowboy Capital of the World” and the “City of Champions”, Stephenville takes pride in having small-town values, where a strong work ethic, family values, and a giving heart still matter.
