Keller History

Keller began with the news that the Texas Pacific Railroad would extend north of Fort Worth. The area was settled in the early 1850’s and received its name at the urging of a Texas Pacific Railroad official, after the site became a stop of the railroad line. With the railroad’s help, Keller began to prosper as a trade center for the surrounding farm community. The post office was established in 1886.

In the first years, the closest school to Keller stood on Bear Creek Road and Elaine Street. The building was constructed by the Mount Gilead Baptist Church as a school reserving church privileges. By 1898, property was purchased on the corner of Price and College Streets. The school was moved to this new location, where the Keller Education Center now stands.

Keller had benefited not only from being situated on the Texas and Pacific Railroad, but it had the advantage of U.S. Highway 377 which runs from Fort Worth to Denton. Keller was incorporated on November 16, 1955.

New residential development is expanding within the city in all directions. Today Keller is energetic, diverse, and growing toward its bright future.
