Tall pines and a rolling terrain dotted with an abundance of lakes create a beautiful and serene setting for Mount Pleasant, the county seat and largest city in Titus County.
But the entire region hums with an entrepreneurial energy and pace set by globally-recognized businesses like Pilgrim’s Pride, Priefert Farm & Ranch Manufacturing and Big Tex Trailer World. In fact, Mount Pleasant is considered by many to be the Horse Trailer Capital of Texas!
AWARD WINNING AIRPORT & RAIL ACCESS
Our businesses benefit from having access to rail and the Mount Pleasant Regional Airport and its 6,000 foot runway.
This award-wining airport also has an award-winning manager recognized around the country for doing whatever it takes to help corporate and private pilots land and take off safely on any given day, even Christmas.
Visit the airport on a Saturday, and you’re in for a real treat. That’s the day that the Mid America Flight Museum is open to the public. Started in 2013 by Mount Pleasant resident and businessman Scott Glover, the museum is a stunning collection of aircraft from a 1925 Waco Nine to the 1951 Grumman Albatross. And everything at the museum flies or is being restored to fly.

Mount Pleasant is a Main Street, USA town.
In the heart of the city just a few blocks away, discover our historical Downtown District, which holds the distinction of being both a National and Texas Main Street City. Centered upon the Titus County Courthouse, built in 1895, Downtown Mount Pleasant is a charming destination where you can easily spend a full day strolling through delightful shops owned and operated by local entrepreneurs who are passionate about their products and services. Taverns, cafes and bistros present a culinary array that parallels anything you’d find in the big city, but it’s oh-so-much-more-fun to nibble, sip and chat here. Especially when we are celebrating with special events like Christmas on the Square and the Annual Wine Festival.

CLEARLY FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT THINGS
We have so much to be grateful for in Mount Pleasant. But, at the heart of it, you’ll find a common theme: Family.
Big and small businesses alike are family-founded and operated. Scores of involved citizens are inspired by deep family roots to give back, including our own Mayor Tracy Craig, whose great-great-grandparents came to Mount Pleasant over 90 years ago. And finally, a strong sense of family runs throughout an entire community that takes care of its own.
This attitude extends to Mount Pleasant City Hall. From the City Council and City Manger to every staff member, we are committed to serving our citizens, businesses and visitors with expertise, and genuine care and concern.
Come visit, and you’ll find that Pleasant only begins to describe our special City here in the Great State of Texas.
