Emory Profile & Map

Highway 69 and Texas State Highway 19.  We are within 25 miles of two major interstate highways, I - 20 to the south and I - 30 to the north, only 64 miles east of the Dallas – Ft. Worth metroplex.  This unique location makes Emory an excellent hub for distribution to East Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

S. Census Bureau.  

Emory offers a quality country lifestyle with affordable housing and reasonable land values.  An excellent school system and low crime rate make Emory a positive place to raise children.  Located between Lake Fork and Lake Tawakoni, Emory is a place where recreation and quality of life go hand-in-hand with a thriving business community.
