History of Midlothian, Texas

Cattle Ranch to Cement Capital

Midlothian is a southern suburb of both Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, and is bisected by US Highway 287 and 67 in Ellis County about 26 miles from both downtown business districts.

There were very few travelers or settlers in the area before Sam Houston signed peace treaties between the Republic of Texas and the native Indian tribes. With the peace treaty completed, in the 1840s, the William Alden Hawkins and Larkin Newton’s families arrived in the area as settlers who participated in the Peters Colony land grant program. After a natural spring was discovered on the Hawkins’ farm, the community became known as Hawkins Spring. The first school was built in 1850 and was a log cabin with an earthen floor that also served as the community church and meeting place.

Due to the distance to Dallas and large produce markets and the expansive grasslands prairies, between 1850 and 1880, the primary economic activity was livestock ranching with some farming. The area grew slowly during the mid-1800s, but that started to change in the 1880s with the arrival of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. The rail line was to run from Cleburne to Dallas and the small community, now known as Barker, was along the route selected by the railroad. As was typical during that time, the railroad held great sway over the naming of towns, and the community that was built along the new rail line was renamed Midlothian by an engineer of the railroad. The railroad arrived in 1883, and by 1884, the community had two churches, a school, and a newspaper, and the population was 300. The city of Midlothian was officially incorporated in April 1888, and by 1890, Midlothian had over 600 residents and 25 businesses.

The railroad provided a reliable and quick means to transport produce to the Dallas market, which allowed farmers to switch crops, and in the early 1900s, cotton became the major cash crop. During this time, Midlothian and Ellis County became one of the nation’s largest cotton production regions. Between 1900 and 1920, Midlothian continued to flourish and grow with the population exceeding 1,200 people by 1920.

Just like much of the US, the Great Depression was hard on Midlothian with lost businesses, cattle, and people. By 1940, the population of Midlothian had dropped to about 1,000 residents people. Slow but steady growth returned starting in the 1950s, and by 1960, the city of Midlothian has over 1,500 residents. Over the next 20 years, growth and economic prosperity grew, and by 1980, Midlothian was home to over 3,200 people.

During the 1980s, Midlothian became the “Cement Capital of Texas,” with factories producing huge quantities of Portland cement and related steel products. These industries brought jobs and an influx of workers to fill those jobs, and by 1990, there were 120 businesses and the city had over 5,100 residents. This growth trend continued over the next 20 years, and by 2010, the population of Midlothian tripled to over 18,000 people.

Today, Midlothian is a thriving and growing city that covers 64.23 square miles with over 33,000 people who call the city home.
