Moving In and Around DeSoto, From Hampton Road to I-35E
DeSoto is in southern Dallas County, twelve miles south of Dallas, on Interstate 35E, Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 67, along Ten Mile Creek. The Parks, Cheshier, Ramsey and Johnson families founded it in the 1840s, and in 1848 T. J. Johnson built the first general store at what became the corner of Belt Line and Hampton roads. The town was incorporated in 1949. Whether you are moving off Belt Line Road or across the I-35E corridor, we plan the truck and crew around your street and your schedule.
DeSoto Town Center, Trails and New-Resident Basics
DeSoto Town Center, at the northeast corner of Hampton and Pleasant Run Roads, brings together City Hall, the library, the recreation center, The Corner Theatre, the Civic Center and an amphitheater, and it hosts city events such as the Juneteenth Celebration, the Hispanic Heritage Festival and the Hometown Holiday Parade. The 3.6-mile Roy Orr Trail follows Ten Mile Creek through the center of the city, the 75-acre Paul S. Dryer Preserve at Windmill Hill has hilly hiking trails, and Grimes Park has a covered BMX park plus baseball and soccer complexes. The Otway B. Nance farm, built in 1850, became a Texas historic landmark.
DeSoto borders Lancaster, Glenn Heights, Cedar Hill, Duncanville and Dallas, and it is one of the four cities that formed the Best Southwest Partnership in 1986. DeSoto ISD is headquartered at 200 E. Belt Line Rd., but parts of the city, such as the Estates of Windmill Hill, are in Duncanville ISD, so check the school district for your address. To start water, bring the deposit application, service agreement, deposit and ID to Utility Billing in City Hall (see Water Service); the city no longer offers same-day connection, so set it up at least a business day before you move.
