City of Hillsboro, Texas

Hillsboro is a vibrant small city where people can easily connect with what matters: each other, diverse businesses and activities, beautiful spaces, and larger markets a short drive away. The City of Hillsboro’s mission is to offer reliable services, refreshing public spaces, and plentiful economic and social opportunities so that our residents feel secure, connected, and positive about the future of Hillsboro. Hillsboro, a community of approximately 10,000 people located on I-35 between DFW and Waco, is the County Seat of Hill County, Texas. In 1923, Hillsboro Junior College was founded. Today, Hill College is a robust community college system with multiple campuses, significant accomplishments in academics and fine arts, and national renown in track and rodeo. Manufacturing is strong in Hillsboro with over 2,000 employees constructing buildings, materials, fire trucks, and more in our industrial park. Agriculture is strong in Hillsboro with farm families responsible for a variety of important livestock and food crops, which include cotton, maize, corn, wheat, and others. The wealth of the soil enables a myriad of uses and products including award-winning TX Whiskey. For over 170 years, Hillsboro has been the centerpiece of the surrounding rural community. Today that community has welcomed significant growth; the population is more diverse and culturally attuned; and its citizens are more educated. Many have spent time in larger cities and come to prize the quality of life this rural area affords. In that time, Hillsboro's own development - aided by visionary leadership and steadfast accomplishments in education, business, industry, and community - has enabled it to keep level up as well. We are strong but mighty. We take care of our own. We work together. We welcome you!
