Argyle, TX

Argyle is a Denton County city north of Fort Worth, with settlement roots going back to the 1850s. It is small, affluent, and fast-growing, part of the suburban and exurban belt between Denton and the Alliance-area job centers. Locals have called it "The Small Apple," a playful nickname that fits a town trying to keep a distinct identity amid North Texas growth. Argyle feels horse-country suburban: larger lots, schools, churches, new development, and open land slowly giving way.
