Ellis County

About Ellis County

  Lying south of Dallas, Texas, Ellis County’s namesake derives from the president of the convention that ultimately produced the Texas Declaration of Independence, Richard Ellis. Rich in history, Ellis is known as a friendly suburban nook outside of the larger metro regions of Dallas. Relax on the shores of Lake Bardwell, an expansive recreational area offering water activities, camping, and picnic areas or fish the beautiful waters of Lake Waxahachie all in a day’s work. Many homes are nestled on large acreage, providing a secluded retreat for families and friends. Nearby airports and highways are easily accessible, creating ample opportunities for travel and stress-free commutes.
