Set in Hopkins County, it puts weekend adventure close at hand: hike shaded trails, launch a kayak, or snag a campsite at Cooper Lake State Park, while anglers chase trophy bass on nearby Lake Fork.
Families appreciate the strong local schools in Como-Pickton CISD, where small classes and spirited Eagles athletics build community. Higher-ed and workforce training are within minutes at Paris Junior College’s nearby center. For culture and fun, the county seat hosts concerts around Celebration Plaza through the city’s official website, and the iconic stew contest, coordinated by the Chamber of Commerce, brings everyone together each fall.
Housing options range from tidy in-town cottages to acreage, hobby farms, and barndominiums, with space for gardens and workshops. Many residents commute to jobs in agribusiness, healthcare, and education, or enjoy the arts and dining in nearby Winnsboro.
