Corsicana, Texas is close enough to Dallas to have all the amenities of a metropolitan area within an hour’s drive, yet far enough away to avoid rush hour, concrete living and expensive real estate. A typical commute for residents is 15 minutes. Positioned on Interstate 45 between Dallas and Houston, and Highway 31 between Waco and Tyler.
Corsicana has no match for its beautiful, cattle-dotted hills, highways and byways carpeted with Bluebonnets every spring, trophy-yielding bass lakes, historic Downtown with coffee houses, boutiques and antique shops including the original Collin Street Bakery location, world-famous for its Deluxe Fruitcake and the street corner where Texas’ Wolf Brand Chili was first served. Corsicana has an abundance of annual community events and festivals, including Derrick Days, our annual festival honoring our oil history as the birthplace of Texas Oil.
For the avid outdoorsman there are several lakes perfect for fishing, swimming, and boating. Parks are scattered throughout the area providing plenty of opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty while walking, jogging, or cycling.
