Biohazard Cleanup Near West Annetta Annetta, TX

Annetta is a town in Parker County, Texas, on Farm Road 1187 about six miles southeast of Weatherford and within commuting reach of Fort Worth.

Annetta is named for the daughter of its founder, A. B. Fraser, who moved to Parker County in 1876 and built a station and store for freighters traveling east toward Dallas and Jefferson.

When the Texas and Pacific Railway built through Parker County around 1880, Fraser built a general store on the rail line and a small community developed around the Annetta station.

Annetta stayed tiny for a century - it had a post office from 1876 to 1907, three churches and a school, but its population remained below fifty into the late 1970s.

On August 11, 1979, the Annetta community incorporated as three separate towns - Annetta, Annetta North, and Annetta South - as Fort Worth's growth pushed into eastern Parker County.

Annetta's population exploded from just 205 people in 1980 to 3,041 at the 2020 census, a jump of more than 136% in the 2010s alone.

At the 2020 census Annetta had 880 households and 788 families, reflecting its growth into a rural-residential community of large lots.

Annetta covers about 3.8 square miles of southeastern Parker County, almost all of it land.
