Burleson lies along the southern fringe of the Fort Worth metropolitan area, where North Texas prairie country meets the wooded Cross Timbers. The city developed after the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad arrived in 1881 and took its name from Rufus C. Burleson, a former president of Baylor University. That rail connection still helps explain Burleson’s character: it is a self-contained Texas community within reach of Fort Worth’s urban core, rather than a historic district of the larger city. Its setting combines suburban life with the open spaces and tree-lined terrain typical of north-central Texas.
