Welcome to Pottsboro, Texas

The small town with the Big Lake!

Welcome to Pottsboro...

Just 75 minutes north of downtown Dallas, Pottsboro is one of the fastest-growing business and resort centers in North Texas! We're a thriving community with an enviable location right next to one of the largest and best inland lakes in North America. It's estimated that the Lake Texoma area attracts between 8-10 million visitors each year! Our community is surrounded by beautiful, rolling landscapes, first-class resorts and some of the finest marinas and golf courses in the southwest. Here you'll find a growing number of upscale housing developments reflecting a high-quality standard of living that is quickly becoming the norm in Grayson County.  

 

The Chamber and the Pottsboro Area Development Alliance are working hard to attract quality economic development while preserving the area’s natural beauty and history.   What an exciting time to establish your business and family in this wonderful part of Texas!

 

COME PLAY. COME STAY.
