WELCOME TO THE CITY OF CLEBURNE. If you are new to the area, let me assure you that you have made a good choice. Cleburne stands at the crossroads of an extraordinary opportunity. Today is where our rich history and heritage meets our future. The Chisholm Trail Parkway that connects Cleburne and Fort Worth with a thirty minute drive affords small town living with big city access.
CLEBURNE WAS A CITY OF RAILS AND TRAILS. Once a stop along the historic Chisholm Trail, Cleburne was home to one of the largest railroad shops in the world. Today, you can visit our history in one of our many museums, but Cleburne is more than just a historic stop. Today, Cleburne boasts a wide array of culture. You can take in a play through the Plaza Theater or witness a production through the local Carnegie Players, hear a variety of jazz at Songbird Live, enjoy outdoor concerts at Market Square, take in the vistas along one of North Texas’ best municipal golf courses (don’t forget to try North Texas’ best golf course burger), or just relax in one of our many parks and there is more to come.

CLEBURNE IS A GREAT PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY. Like many others, I chose Cleburne because of the quality of life and the great schools. The past two years, the academic advanced placement program at CISD was rated in the top 3% of all Texas schools and is nationally recognized as one of the very best. Our neighborhoods are quiet and friendly. A simple trip to the grocery store requires additional time to catch up with neighbors and friends. Some say American cities aren’t what they used to be. They haven’t been to Cleburne.
CLEBURNE HAS A LOT OF ENTERTAINMENT TO OFFER. We are currently building a minor league baseball park that will be home to the historic Cleburne Railroaders as well as concerts and outdoor events. The park will open for the 2017 season, just in time to defend Cleburne’s 1906 Texas League Championship. The park will soon be surrounded with other entertainment and shopping opportunities.
Thank you so much for listening to what Cleburne has to say. I believe our city has something to communicate to people of all walks and stages of life whether you are raising a family, visiting, or looking for a nice place to retire. Please consider Cleburne when making that decision.
Allow me to extend a sincere invitation to share my hometown with you and your family. There is room at the table whether you are visiting or choose to become a part of the family. Feel free to pull up a chair and make yourself at home. It is always a great day in Cleburne Texas. Or as we like to say:
CLEBURNE, THIS IS TEXAS.Very truly yours,
Scott Cain, Mayor

HISTORY OF CLEBURNE Open land and the flowing waters of Buffalo Creek lured Native Americans and buffalo herds to what would become Cleburne decades later. The area’s first dwelling was built in 1854, near the creek.
CALLED CAMP HENDERSON, THIS AREA WAS HOME TO A CIVIL WAR TRAINING CAMP.
In 1867, she was officially made the seat of Johnson County and the name was changed on July 4 to honor General Patrick Cleburne. Many local men had served with this respected General during the Civil War.
Lots surrounding the square began selling for five hundred dollars and businesses sprang up to attract the cowboys from the Chisholm Trail just west of town and to provide for the early settlers. Josephine Wren, the first female business owner, opened the Cleburne House on the northwest corner of the square. By 1880, businesses included saloons, stores selling pharmaceuticals, dry goods, groceries, and hardware, as well as banks, boarding houses, a distiller, a shooting gallery, and wagon yards.
Livestock and Indian corn had been the main moneymaker until the demand for cotton boomed. By 1890 the Santa Fe Railroad was employing five hundred.
DOWNTOWN WAS PACKED WITH THRIVING BUSINESSES BY THE TIME 1900 ARRIVED.
Market Square was filled with farmers and ranchers selling everything from cattle to vegetables. Soon the city drilled water wells, schools and churches were scattered around town and the Carnegie Library was built.
New ways of transportation made their debut. Streetcars, the Interurban, the first airplane built in
10
HIS
TOR
Y
Texas (made in Keene and Cleburne). As well, one of the first cars in Texas was built and on the road here in 1910.
During the next three decades, the way of life still included cotton and railroading, but the town was changing. There was more manufacturing and less agricultural, more people and roads. Yellow Jacket Stadium was completed in 1941. New schools were built and Hill College expanded to Cleburne.
Industries moved here and home-owned businesses grew, providing jobs and money. In recent years, gas drilling has done the same.
THE OPENING OF THE CHISHOLM TRAIL (PARKWAY) IS LEADING A PROSPEROUS GENERATION OF NEW GROWTH OUR WAY.
