The City of Bonham is located in northeastern Texas near the Oklahoma state line just about an hour’s drive from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Bonham is part of Fannin County, where it also serves as the county seat, and the city has an estimated population of 10,000.

A place with a history its citizens cherish, the community of Bonham was named in honor of James Butler Bonham, an American patriot who hailed from South Carolina who played a major role while defending the Alamo against the Mexican Army. He died there for his efforts. Bonham’s heritage is prominently featured in the city’s downtown historic district walkabout. Also, more insight is offered on Bonham’s history at the Fannin County Museum of History, Fort Inglish Park, and Sam Rayburn House Museum.

Bonham, like much of the “Lone Star State” of Texas, puts special emphasis on healthy and active living, and supports this advocacy by providing for its residents excellent recreational facilities and opportunities. Within the city, there are three spacious parks and two recreational centers. Four golf courses are found around the city as well as four clean lakes for aquatic recreation. For camping, hiking, and fishing, Bonham State Park and Lake Bonham are popular destinations.
