There’s no other place like Texarkana. It is all the beauty of Arkansas and the hospitality of Texas rolled into a perfect Twin City package. A diverse community of friendly people, low cost of living, flourishing job market, affordable housing, beautiful parks and first-class educational choices of fer Texarkana residents countless opportunities on both sides of the state line. Texarkana was voted Nicest Place to Live in Texas and Arkansas by Reader’s Digest , who picks one place from each state that “exemplifies kindness and civility in a time of American divisiveness.” Texarkana offers the perfect balance of small-town community living with the excitement of burgeoning opportunity and development. It is that balance, along with our convenient location along I-30, that draws people to this area and provides the safety and security of home-sweet-home.
Whether uptown, midtown, downtown or around town, Texarkana has it all. Don’t let the state line fool you. Though Texarkana operates as two separately functioning cities, the divide is only geographical. There is a longstanding tradition of cooperation and collaboration that unites the people and continues to build a firm foundation for the future of Texarkana. First settled in 1873, Texarkana made its start as a railroad town. Since that time, the city has grown into a place with as much diversity in business as is represented by more than 149,000 residents across the Texarkana Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Bowie County, Texas and Miller County, Arkansas, which comprise the MSA, offer a wide variety of attractions, recreational oppor tunities, parks, entertainment, food, shopping and fun for everyone!
