Grayson County, established in 1846 and named after Peter W. Grayson, attorney general of the Republic of Texas, occupies a strategic position along the Texas-Oklahoma border. This North Texas county has evolved from its frontier origins into a thriving region that perfectly balances metropolitan convenience with rural charm and recreational opportunity.
The county seat, Sherman, has grown into a vibrant city with Austin College, founded in 1849, serving as its educational cornerstone. Denison, the county's other major city, holds the distinction of being President Dwight D. Eisenhower's birthplace—a heritage celebrated at the Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site, which draws visitors from across the nation.
Lake Texoma dominates the county's northern geography and economy. Created by the Denison Dam on the Red River in 1944, this 89,000-acre reservoir ranks among the largest in the United States. The lake generates over $300 million annually in tourism revenue, supporting marinas, resorts, and countless recreational businesses. Striped bass fishing here is legendary, drawing anglers from across the country.
The local economy has diversified significantly, with major employers including Texas Instruments, Texoma Medical Center, and a growing aerospace sector. Grayson College provides workforce training, while proximity to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex—just 60 miles south—offers residents access to big-city amenities while maintaining the quality of life that North Texas living provides.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States and Supreme Allied Commander in World War II, was born in Denison on October 14, 1890. The modest two-story frame house where he was born is now a state historic site, drawing thousands of visitors annually.
Lake Texoma is renowned as the "Striper Capital of the World" for its exceptional striped bass fishing. The lake's unique position where the Red and Washita Rivers meet creates ideal conditions for these prized game fish, drawing anglers from across North America.
Denison was established in 1872 as a railroad town when the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (the "Katy") crossed the Red River. The historic downtown district preserves this railroad heritage, and the restored Katy Depot serves as a cultural center and museum.
Austin College, founded in 1849, is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in Texas. Originally established in Huntsville, the college moved to Sherman in 1876, where it has remained a prestigious liberal arts institution for nearly 150 years.
Grayson County has emerged as part of Texas's growing wine industry. Several wineries and vineyards have established operations in the region, taking advantage of the climate and terroir to produce award-winning wines that rival those from more famous regions.
The 11,320-acre Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, located on the Big Mineral Arm of Lake Texoma, provides critical habitat for migratory waterfowl. Over 300 bird species have been documented here, making it a premier destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
