Commerce

Commerce is a city in Hunt County, Texas, that spreads across eastern plains with residential neighborhoods, educational facilities, and commercial districts. The city sits at an elevation of about 169 meters and integrates different sections through its local streets.

The settlement began as a trading post in the 1800s and later became an agricultural center when the railroad reached the area. This connection transformed how the community developed and grew.
