Welcome to the “I LOVE GRANBURY” blog


I am Charlie Parrish, the lead agent of the Parrish Team of Keller Williams Realty. We love Granbury and hope to promote this blog to help you better understand this wonderful community that we live in and around.

Granbury is filled with rich history from the Comanche Indians that summered on Comanche Peak (our mountain), to the early settlers along the Brazos River (earlier than the establishment of Fort Worth). Even today The Brazos River continues to be a water source for our community.

Granbury has grown and grown from a small farm community with cotton and peanuts to a bustling resort center with Lake Granbury as its crown. Granbury is also home to five beautiful golf courses that attract visitors from all over the state. In addition to our Historic Town Square and Opera House, retail trade has contributed to Granbury’s growth with major stores and restaurants moving in every year. Our airport also brings in many people and promises to be even more attractive with an additional runway that will accommodate corporate jets.

Our town and county have recently been blessed with major natural gas drilling in the Barnett Shale. While we all fuss about all the big trucks, the Barnett Shale has brought in millions of dollars to our residents and to business revenue. Many gas companies have moved here bringing along executives and many employees, contributing to our economy in great ways.

We enjoy a mild climate and a forward looking city and county government that work with citizens and businesses alike to provide a positive work environment. The town and surrounding areas provide a multitude of service organizations, church affiliations and a friendly environment to all faiths and ethnic backgrounds. I can honestly say that with its rich history and bright future, I’m glad to call Granbury home.

That’s all for today
