Brief Narrative of Aledo, Texas

Brief Narrative of Aledo, Texas

The loosely associated settlers in the Clear Fork Valley of the Trinity River, an area known as Medera, were brought together when the Texas & Pacific Railroad brought a line through in 1879 to connect Ft. Worth and Weatherford. A coal and water refueling station was the first stop in Parker County for west-bound trains and it became known as Parker Station. However, when mail marked "Parker County" found its way out of the mail car at "Parker Station", the U.S. Post Office directed the smaller community to find a distinct name. So the community was named in 1882 for the home town of a railroad official from Aledo, Illinois.


The original town site platted by the T.P.R.R. has changed a little over the years. The state highway rounded off a corner or two on it's way through town, and the old depot was moved a couple of hundred yards west and turned into a storage building. The old city well is just a spot in the pavement that won't stay fixed.
=
But the covered sidewalks and quaint store fronts are still there, standing at attention, saluting the trains that rumble through the valley several times a day.
The trains don't stop here any more and the cabooses are gone, but every small child in town still drops everything and runs out to wave at the engineer. (Sometimes he waves back!)

The school isn't one small building like it used to be, but it's is still in the same place and still known as much for building character as for academic excellence. The new middle school campus and high school campus are now open giving future Bearcats room to grow.
Our churches, some meeting for over a century, are also experiencing growth. Strong youth programs and Christian education are as strong in Aledo as ever, and missions are at the heart of every congregation.
The Aledo Volunteer Fire Department, organized over 40 years ago, is in a new building, but the faces are still those of neighbors and the reputation is still highly regarded.

Aledo is growing now as a new generation of families seeks a quiet community that combines the feel of hometown with easy access to nearby jobs and attractions. The City Council is working with developers to expand our water and wastewater systems to meet the growth, and power, gas, phone and cable utilities are ready to supply our new neighbors.
Yet for all the change that is sure to come our way, Aledo will hold fast to the small town atmosphere that has been ours since the first train came through.
