Aledo was founded when the Texas & Pacific Railroad built a line in 1879 to connect Forth Worth and Weatherford. This city is no longer a small pop up town used as a coal refueling station but a thriving city that boasts a growing population of 3,000. Aledo is family friendly and has many lush outdoor spaces for the community to enjoy. It's only 19 miles west of Fort Worth, allowing residents to have the best of both worlds: easy access to a major city while living in a more rural setting.
