Living in Mineral Wells

Mineral Wells sits far to the west of Fort Worth, more than 30 miles out in Parker County, and has a genuinely unique history among the towns in this area. It grew up in the early 1900s as a health resort destination, built around mineral water wells believed to have healing properties, and drew visitors from across the country – a legacy still visible in landmarks like the historic Baker Hotel downtown. Today it’s a quieter, more affordable town with a strong sense of its own identity, and it sits right next to Lake Mineral Wells State Park, known for rock climbing, hiking, and camping. Local schools serve the community, and the town’s distance from Fort Worth makes it more of a standalone community than a bedroom suburb.
