Queen City

Queen City is an incorporated town at the junction of US 59 and Farm roads 74, 96, 251, 2327, and 2791, seven miles west of the Texas-Arkansas line in eastern Cass County.

An early lumber boom reached its peak around 1890, when the town had a population of 400. Afterward Queen City gradually declined, and by 1940 its population had dwindled to 295. The opening of the Rodessa oilfield in 1935 and the expansion of nearby Atlanta helped to spur new growth.

In the mid-1950s Queen City had twelve rated businesses and a population of 500. In 1991 the town reported 1,831 residents and twenty businesses. Principal industries at that time included farming, forestry, oil, and tourism.
