Heath, city in Texas, USA
Heath is a city in Texas that sits across both Kaufman County and Rockwall County, on the eastern edge of the Dallas metropolitan area. It is made up mostly of residential neighborhoods, with some local commercial areas along the main roads.
Heath began as a small settlement in the early 20th century, growing gradually as the Dallas area expanded outward. It was incorporated as a city as suburban development reached this part of Texas.
Heath is best explored by car, as the city is built around vehicle travel with few options for getting around on foot. Its position on the boundary of two counties means visitors can easily reach services and points of interest in both directions.
Heath is one of the few Texas cities that sits in two separate counties at once, which means that local administration is divided between two different county governments. Residents on one side of the city may deal with different county offices than those just a few blocks away.
