The City of Boyd welcomes dialogue with the public. BOYD, TEXAS (Wise County). S. Boyd, another railroad executive.

Please be aware your comments are subject to public disclosure laws and we will screen for the following:
• Potentially libelous comments.
• Obscene or explicit Boyd is on State Highway 114 seven miles south of Decatur in southern Wise County. In the early 1890s farmers settled at the site, in the curve of the North Fork of the Trinity River. The community was originally referred to as Greasy Bend

because the area was used to fatten hogs. After the Rock Island line reached the town in 1893, the settlement was renamed Parkhurst in honor of a railroad official. The community received a post office branch in September 1893. Sometime later, railroad officials complained that Parkhurst might become confused with Park Springs, a town just down the line, and Parkhurst citizens selected the name Boyd for their town, in honor of H. The Boyd community incorporated in 1895 and soon became a retail point for area farmers. Until the 1940s cotton and livestock were the area's principal agricultural products; afterward Boyd became a center for melons. In the late 1950s the town began to serve as a bedroom community for citizens working in Fort Worth. Its population increased from 496 to 525 between 1940 and 1960 and grew steadily thereafter. In 1990 Boyd reported a population of 1,041 and forty-five businesses; in 2000 the community had 1,099 inhabitants and 152 businesses. BIBLIOGRAPHY:

Boil Water Notice: Highland Oaks Subdivision

Due to a water main break earlier today, the Highland Oaks subdivision is under a boil notice after the loss of required pressure. This notice only impacts this neighborhood and no other portions of town.

Highland Oaks will stay under this "Boil Notice" until we can get results from the lab clearing this posted notice. We hope to have this rescinded as quickly as possible. Once rescinded, we will post on all social media accounts, our website, and send out through the alert system.

We Remember: The 25th Anniversary of 9/11

Twenty-five years have passed since the September 11 attacks, yet the memories remain deeply etched in our hearts. On that tragic day, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost, families were forever changed, and the world witnessed unimaginable sorrow.

Today, we remember every person who never made it home, the courageous first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless individuals who offered comfort, hope, and help. Their bravery and sacrifice remind us that even in humanity’s darkest moments, love and unity can still shine.

As we commemorate this solemn anniversary, may we honor the victims by choosing compassion over hatred, peace over violence, and unity over division.

Twenty-five years later, we still remember their names, their stories, and the lives they touched.

This is tomorrow evening. The keynote speaker and his wife are survivors of the Towers on 9/11. And if you’ve never seen the City of Aurora’s 9/11 Memorial it is worth seeing. They actually have a piece of an I beam from one of the Towers. It’s very moving.
We hope to see you there!
