The City of Burleson is located 12 miles south of downtown Fort Worth and approximately 35 miles southwest of Dallas. Burleson lies in both Tarrant and Johnson Counties, Texas, and has an estimated population of 23,000 people.

Burleson remains deeply committed to the stimulation of development and expansion of the local economy. Besides being strategically located along major highways, railway lines, and being close to airline services, Burleson has many incentives for businesses to locate or relocate here. Its economy has thrived based on a strong manufacturing and retail-trade industry.

Burleson has many recreational opportunities for its residents with their highly popular sports and recreation programs. In addition, the city maintains 7 public parks that span over 112 acres, has a state-of-the-art sports complex, and a championship calibre 18-hole golf course.

Burleson has the best of both worlds. Its close proximity to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex gives them big city amenities and attractions, but all the whiles, it retains its distinct smalltown personality. Burleson has been put on the map as the hometown of singer and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.
