History :

In the 21st century, Jarrell has embarked on a period of expansion and transition... expansion in both population and commercial interests... and transition from a traditional agricultural base to a more diverse economy

While cotton, corn and cattle served the settlers of Northern Williamson County well in 1800s and 1900s, new commercial enterprises such as light manufacturing, limestone quarrying and many others, to include transportation, will dominate the next years

Located on Interstate Highway 35, the principal NAFTA artery, and adjacent to the new State Highway 130 and Parmer Lane Extension projects, Jarrell is well-placed for easy transhipment of products to southern ports and northern markets

An excellent school district offers diversity in education to meet family, career and workforce needs... gifted and talented programs, athletics, choir, debate teams... all within the structure of a Texas Education Agency "exemplary" campus currently enrolling 750 students

Originally laid out in 1909 by a Temple developer, Jarrell incorporated in 2001 and counts around 1,900 residents inside the city boundaries... affordable land prices and proximity to Austin's high-tech center give Jarrell a prime position in a growing market.. Jarrell's city government is dedicated to the role of a managing the future.. providing for new business..maintaining family values.. all in an atmosphere of community spirit.
