About Kerens

Located in Navarro County about an hour southeast of Dallas, Kerens is a quiet, friendly town with deep agricultural roots and a relaxed rural pace. The community originally grew around the railroad and cotton trade, though its best piece of local trivia is that the iconic Big Tex actually started out here in 1949 as a giant Santa Claus. Today, residents enjoy wide-open spaces, a close-knit neighborhood feel, and quick access to fishing and boating at nearby Richland Chambers Lake.
