In Northeast Texas, Morris County is anchored by Daingerfield, its seat. Established in 1875, the county developed with timber, farming, and later steel production in Lone Star. Today, it is a strongly rural-small town county, with Daingerfield and Lone Star as its main hubs. Housing stock includes historic cottages, modest brick ranchers, and manufactured homes. Larger services are in Texarkana (40 miles northeast). Prices are modest: homes typically cost $120,000–$200,000, while land averages $6,000–$12,000 per acre. Buyers often include retirees, hunters, and families seeking affordable country property.
