TARRANT COUNTY |
| 2008 COMMUNITY PROFILE |
 |
The City of Everman is located south of Loop 820 (I-20 West)
twelve miles south of downtown Fort Worth, which is a part
of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area. The City was
incorporated in 1945 and adopted a home rule charter on April
5, 1986 and operates under a council/mayor form of government.
Access from Interstate 35 and Interstate 20 provides the
city access to DFW International Airport within 20 minutes.
The City is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex,
which has remained a relatively strong diverse economy in
a desirable Sunbelt location. The Metroplex is an eleven
county area, which includes major cities of Dallas and Fort
Worth with total population exceeding three million people.
Everman's adjacent proximity to this area enhances its appeal
to businesses searching for a place to relocate.
