Canton

Canton sits on the western edge of East Texas’s Piney Woods, in the United States, where wooded land gives way to pasture and open fields. The county seat of Van Zandt County is best known for First Monday Trade Days, a monthly market held in the days leading up to the first Monday of each month. This trading tradition traces its roots to the 1850s, when court days brought local residents into town to exchange goods. Today, the event draws dealers and shoppers from across the region, giving Canton a distinctive place on the East Texas calendar. Beyond market weekends, the town is a quiet base for exploring rural roads and communities between Dallas and Tyler.
