Texoma is a unique place to live and work. It’s not far from two major cities (Dallas/Ft. Worth to our south and Oklahoma City to our north), but still very much offers the charms of small town rural life. Families, grandparents, and a growing population of young professionals are making it their home. North Texas and Southeastern Oklahoma offers a warm climate, plenty to do outdoors, and hardworking folks. Generations of farmers and ranchers make their living here in the fertile Red River Valley. Texoma is home to two world class casinos and one of the largest freshwater lakes in the U.S., Lake Texoma, drawing millions of visitors annually for recreation, fishing, camping and boating. Our towns host summer music events, festivals both Spring and Fall, and there is always a 5K run or biking event for athletic enthusiasts of all ages. It’s a great place to live and work!
