A beautiful place to live! Located in the heart of North Central Texas, just northeast of Fort Worth and northwest of Dallas, the City of Keller offers a country atmosphere with small city friendliness. The Texas and Pacific Railroad between Fort Worth and Texarkana was completed in April 1881, and the first train ran on this track on May 9, 1881. With the advent of rail service, new villages were established all along the line. The Keller of today was one of them The post office was established in 1886 when the post office at Double Springs, located about 5 miles northeast of Keller, was discontinued. Paper work for this change began about two years earlier and it is possible that at the time C.C. Nance moved to Keller and was serving as postmaster there for those years. In 1886, John H. Wallace was appointed postmaster. New residential development is expanding the city in all directions. Ten years ago Keller's population was 4,000; today, 19,200 call Keller home. The city planned for its growth and has, in just five years, constructed a new library, police, park, and fire facilities. Keller Independent School District is now the third largest district in Tarrant County and is recognized as one of the exceptional districts in the area. Thirteen campuses serve approximately 13,000 students. |
