Waxahachie straddles Waxahachie Creek in North Texas, where its role as the seat of Ellis County has centred civic life on the historic courthouse square. The 1895 Ellis County Courthouse, a Romanesque Revival landmark designed by James Riely Gordon, remains downtown’s defining building. Victorian-era houses in older neighbourhoods underpin the city’s “Gingerbread City” nickname, while the annual Crape Myrtle Festival brings a local tradition to the streets each summer. South of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Waxahachie retains the distinct character of a county-seat community.
