Holland Lake Park is one of the many parks within the city limits where you can enjoy a picnic with the family, or just feed the ducks.

The coming of the first railroad in 1880 made Weatherford the place to be, as freighting and shipping to the west and northwest was headquartered in town. The 1880's and 1890's were very prosperous years for the county. Two more railroads were built, the Rock Creek mines were in operation, and the improvement of horse and cattle stock brought many new investors. Many of the large homes in town were built during this time. The civic and business organizations brought in telephones and electricity, while circuses and conventions provided entertainment, along with the Opera House on the Square.

Peter Pan was from Weatherford!

After 1900, Parker County became a more agricultural county; its peaches and watermelons becoming known across the United States. The large orchards and improved varieties of watermelons and other fruits and vegetables helped the farmers to prosper. Many ranchers began to raise pure-bred cattle and fine horses, and Parker County shipped many mules to the cotton farms in the South.

The Cutting Horse Capital of the world!

As the population grows today, Parker County still retains its reputation for peaches and watermelons, and its ranches still run large herds of prime cattle. The raising of outstanding quarter-horses has become a major industry and the county has become known nation-wide as the Cutting Horse Capital. Excellent schools, many churches and friendly communities all contribute their share to making Parker County a good place to live.

Time to Move >Planning the Move The custom of relying on friends to help make a move from one place to another has been replaced by reliance on professional movers. Professional moving companies offer a wide range of service options, including professional packing. It could cost you less if you pack your things in your own containers. However, some movers will not insure fragile items, such as dishes or glassware, if they do not pack them. Begin your preparations for the move by calling several companies for estimates. And start early! Some companies want three-to-six weeks advance notice. Ask each company how they compute the charges, how much time they expect the move to take, and what kind of insurance coverage they offer against loss or damage. If you have to store your things temporarily, ask what arrangements can be made. Long-distance movers may send a representative to your home for an estimate, while local companies may quote an hourly rate over the phone. Be sure to ask the same questions of each company so that when you compare bids you will be using the same criteria.
