Moving In and Around Gun Barrel City
Gun Barrel City lies on the eastern shore of Cedar Creek Reservoir, twenty miles northwest of Athens in northwestern Henderson County. The town grew up after the reservoir was built in the 1960s and takes its name from its motto, “We shoot straight with you.” State Highway 198, once called Gun Barrel Lane, runs through the area.

Moving to Gun Barrel City, the Commercial Hub of Cedar Creek Lake
Gun Barrel City’s economic development team calls it the commercial hub of Cedar Creek Lake, and US-175 is the main route for trips toward Dallas. Long before the lake was built, Gun Barrel Lane, now State Highway 198, was a mud-road shortcut through the area. Residents voted to incorporate in the early 1970s, the city has twice placed second in the Governor’s Community Achievement Awards, and the Texas Department of Agriculture has named it a GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community.
Gun Barrel City Park on Municipal Drive, across from the Central Fire Station, has ball diamonds, an 18-hole disc golf course, a dog park and a catch-and-release fishing pond, and it hosts July Fest each summer. The city’s other yearly events include a Halloween Haunted Trail and a Christmas Parade. Children living in Gun Barrel City attend Mabank ISD. When you move in, water comes from East Cedar Creek Fresh Water Supply, trash pickup is through Republic Services, and you choose your electric provider through Power to Choose.
