Midlothian is the "Cement Capital of Texas"

Sitting in between Dallas and Fort Worth, Midlothian is known for its blue-collar roots and is anchored by the cement and steel industries, known as the “Cement Capital of Texas”. The city is also home to Railport, a large industrial and distribution park along U.S. 67 and MidTexas International Center's Auto Park. Midlothian has retained its charm through the decades while managing its increasing growth to a blossoming community of over 41,000 residents. "It's a small town feel with a tight-knit community, known for its local festivals and parades," says Jackie McDonald, broker associate with Fathom Realty, who sells houses in the area.

Take a visit to The Midlothian Farmers Market

Midlothian has 14 green spaces sprawled through the city, where locals play sports or enjoy the outdoors. The city's history lives at Heritage Park within Newton Cabin, the original homestead of one of the earliest settlers in the area in the late 1800s. Heritage Park is located downtown and next to City Hall, hosting a Farmers Market every Saturday, starting in spring and continuing until autumn. Midlothian Community Park, opened in 2022, is highlighted by a 105-acre multipurpose recreational complex. The complex includes 13 soccer and football fields, an inclusive playground and a splash pad. Mockingbird Nature Park is a 62-acre nature preserve with hiking trails, butterfly gardens and wildflowers.
