Garland Overview

Refreshing Garland is an easy choice for making your new homeplace in Dallas-Fort Worth. Garland has a small community feel, though it’s home to about a quarter of a million residents and is a part of the vast Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Compared to the population center of over 8 million people a few minutes to the southwest of it, again, Garland feels like a small town. Located a few minutes northeast of downtown Dallas, Garland is a culturally diverse little city with its own robust economy and employment market and thriving arts and entertainment scene. There are many affordable homes for rent in Garland, TX. The town features many beautiful parks, outdoor recreational and sports activities, and good public schools. Garland has a home-town atmosphere, yet its a major manufacturing center for Texas, making it popular with young professionals and families.

What is the history of Garland?

Garland has come a long way from Duck Creek. In the 1700s, the Garland area was populated by the Caddo Nation group of tribes. The Spanish laid claim to the area, and by the mid-1800s, European settlers arrived. Originally called Duck Creek, the settlement eventually merged with neighboring Embree, and the new town was renamed Garland (after the Attorney General of that time). In 1887, Garland was officially established by the US Congress. The two World Wars generated a thriving economy in Garland, driven by new agricultural and manufacturing developments. Today, Garland is a key manufacturing center for Texas and a diverse community with about 27% white, 15% African American, 12% Asian, and 43% Hispanic or Latino residents.

How is the weather in Garland?

Garland, Texas is right for people who want to enjoy being outside as much as possible. The average temperatures in Garland, TX through December and January are highs in the mid 50°s and lows in the mid to high 30°s, February and March from highs in the high 60°s to lows in the high 40°s, April highs around 76° and lows around 55°, May 83° and 63°, June through August highs in the mid 90°s and lows in the mid 70°s, September 88° and 68°, October 78° and 56°, and November 67° and 46°. Rainfall is pretty evenly distributed throughout the year. Humidity tends to be high in summer and low the rest of the year. Altogether, Garland is a comfortable environment for the classic southwest US lifestyle — lots of outdoor recreational sports, frequent barbecues, and downtime in the backyard with sweet tea and leisure activities.

However, there are lots of options for convenient public transportation in Garland. You can easily get to work, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment venues by Lyft and Uber ridesharing.

Or, take the I635 bypass, which entirely circles Dallas and has exits on every side of the city. In low-traffic hours, its the most efficient route to many areas of the city. State Route 75 runs from downtown Dallas past northern Garland and continues northward to Plano. The President George Bush Turnpike crosses through northeast Garland from I30 on the far east side of the metro area to the west side toward Ft. Worth (50 miles). State route 78 runs south from the east side of Lavon Lake (northeast of Garland) and cuts through the middle of town from north to south, then ends at intersecting I635.
