Gastonia

The Blackland Prairie defines the setting of Gastonia — fertile, dark-clay plains have shaped this small community in Kaufman County, east of Dallas. Gastonia lies near Crandall on the outer edge of the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, where open fields, rural roads and newer development meet. The prairie’s productive soils helped make cotton a major historic crop across this part of North Texas, a legacy that still informs the region’s agricultural identity. More than a monument-filled stop, Gastonia gives a sense of the transition between metropolitan growth and the working landscapes of the Texas interior.
