A brief history of Whitesboro, Texas, and makes the case for buying a new vehicle from Ramey Chevrolet

Whitesboro, Texas is a small community on the western edge of Grayson County, located between Sherman and Gainesville at the intersection of US Highways 82 and 377. Positioned at an elevation of 820 feet above sea level, Whitesboro has a total area of 3.2 square miles, all of which is land based. The population was 3,793 at the last official US Census, in the year 2010.

Whitesboro is part of the Sherman-Denison Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town is located just south of Lake Texoma and the Oklahoma border, and just north of the edges of the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. Many people who live in Whitesboro commute in their Chevrolet vehicles to jobs in larger neighboring cities such as Sherman, Gainesville, Denton or McKinney, while they prefer to reside in a quieter, smaller town, where they can enjoy a more laid-back pace of life.

The first settler in the area was Robert Diamond, but the settlement did not officially begin until Ambrose B. White and his family arrived in 1848. The settlement was named “Whitesborough” after its founder, Ambrose, and amended to the current spelling of “Whitesboro” in 1887.

Whitesboro is served by the Whitesboro Independent School District, which currently operates four schools: Hayes Primary (Grades K-2), Whitesboro Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Whitesboro Middle (Grades 6-8) and Whitesboro High (Grades 9-12). The Whitesboro High School football program began in 1936, and 84 years passed before they made the playoffs for the first time, in 2011. The mascot of Whitesboro High School is the “Bearcat”, and the school colors are maroon and white.

While it is a great community to live in, especially for those preferring a slower pace of life, there are not very many options available for purchasing new or used vehicles within the city. However, Whitesboro is a short drive from Sherman, where Ramey Chevrolet offers numerous options at their dealership located at the corner of US 75 and Lamberth Road.
