About Cartwright
Cartwright got its start in the late 1930s as a camp for the workers building Denison Dam. Once construction wrapped up and Lake Texoma filled in, many of those families decided to put down roots for good. Named after Oklahoma congressman Wilburn Cartwright, the community quickly grew into a quiet lakeside settlement right along the Texas border.
Today, Cartwright is an easygoing spot for anyone who loves spending time on the water. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, with quick access to boat launches, great fishing spots, and peaceful rural neighborhoods. It offers a calm, friendly place to call home, along with a short drive to shopping, healthcare, and dining in nearby Durant and Denison.
