Ferris

Ferris occupies a stretch of the Blackland Prairie in north-central Texas. Set along Interstate 45 between Dallas and the rural communities of Ellis County, it has the open, level terrain and dark, fertile soils that characterize this prairie belt. Rail connections helped establish the town in the late 19th century, while local clay supported a brickmaking industry that became central to Ferris’s identity. Its brick heritage is still celebrated through the annual Ferris Brick Festival, bringing a distinct local tradition to a small city within the Dallas–Fort Worth orbit.
