Cedar Hill

Cedar Hill is a city in Dallas County and Ellis County, Texas, situated between Dallas and Fort Worth with Joe Pool Lake marking its western boundary. The area is shaped by green spaces and parks that enable water recreation and outdoor activities.

The settlement was established in 1846 and experienced a devastating tornado in 1856 that destroyed most buildings and killed nine people. This event profoundly shaped the community's early history.

The Penn Farm Agricultural History Center displays farming tools and methods spanning two centuries, telling the story of agricultural tradition that shaped the area. Visitors can see how people once lived and worked on the land.

Cedar Hill State Park offers over 300 campsites with electricity and water, making it suitable for overnight stays and day trips involving water and outdoor recreation. Visitors should check various lake access points, as some areas may be limited during certain seasons.

The city partners with Wing and Walmart to operate drone delivery services, bringing modern logistics into daily life. This initiative makes the place one where technology directly changes how residents receive goods.
