Roanoke

Roanoke is a city in Denton County, Texas, that spreads across residential neighborhoods connected by well-maintained streets and green spaces. The community is organized into different sections, each with its own character and local amenities.

The town formed when people from the nearby settlement of Elizabethtown relocated and settled here permanently. This movement marked a shift in where the local population chose to live and build their community.

The main street through town carries the name of a famous golfer, reflecting how local figures shape the identity of everyday places. This naming choice shows how communities remember people who gained recognition in their region.

An airport is located north of the city center and provides access for travelers and residents. The location near Highway 114 makes it easy to reach other areas in the region.

At the intersection where Henrietta Creek meets Highway 377, the city operates a specialized camera system that streams live train movements. This unusual setup allows visitors and residents to watch passing trains in real time.
