Tarrant County, County of Texas in North Central region, United States.

Tarrant County spans 902 square miles of Texas terrain, containing Fort Worth as its county seat and Arlington as its second-largest city.

The county, established in 1849, takes its name from Edward H. Tarrant, who served as a lawyer, politician, and militia leader in Texas.

Multiple independent school districts and higher education institutions, including Texas Christian University and University of Texas at Arlington, shape the educational landscape.

The county operates through a Commissioners Court system with four commissioners and a judge, managing public services for over 2 million residents.
