Weatherford.
The Town of
Weatherford was named for the State Senator, Jefferson Weatherford
of Dallas. Coincidentally, according to his family, Senator
Weatherford never set foot in the town that bears his own name.
The first
settlers were many and the area was soon becoming a prime spot. Many
pioneers were known to stop in the area on their way across the
wilderness. They had to brave many Indian attacks between the years
of 1846 and 1874. You can find several headstones in Parker County
and the Weatherford area that read “Killed by Indians.”
Today,
Weatherford is known as the Peach Capital of Texas. Both Weatherford
and Parker County growers produce the biggest, sweetest, juiciest
peaches in the state.
Weatherford’s
greatest treasure is the abundance of historic homes and buildings
that consume much of the area. More than 60 historical homes line
the streets. You can find Queen Anne, Victorian and other
architecturally significant homes built at the turn of the century.
These homes are sure to remind you of the days when horse drawn
carriages lined the beautiful streets as the only method of
transportation other than your feet.
Weatherford is
the birthplace and was the home of Broadway star, Mary Martin. For
those that do not know much about Broadway, she was best known for
her role in Peter Pan. Her son, Larry Hagman, became a famous TV
star, forever immortalized as the villainous J.R. Ewing of the
television drama, Dallas. Larry Hagman is still famous for making
appearances in town and helping with area charities.
