25 minutes southwest of Dallas you find Midlothian, Texas. Located in Ellis County, you’re just a short drive away to Dallas and Fort Worth, so it makes it one of the most accessible suburbs in the Metroplex. You can visit any of the nearby DFW museums and attractions with ease, while also getting a quiet down home feel. Midlothian originated as a cattle and cotton-farming economy, with cotton farming in the 1800’s attracting some of the earliest settlers to what would now be modern day Midlothian. Midlothian is known as the “Cement Capital of Texas,” located along the Austin Escarpment, a 600-year-old potential limestone reserve that has attracted cement operations to North Texas. Midlothian is home to local businesses and popular chains, so there’s something for everyone in terms of dining and retail. Festivals and other events year-round make this a popular place to put down roots.
