Emory Profile

Emory is located at the intersection of U. S. Highway 69 and Texas State Highway 19.  We are within 25 miles of two major interstate highways, I - 20 to the south and I - 30 to the north, only 64 miles east of the Dallas – Ft. Worth metroplex.  This unique location makes Emory an excellent hub for distribution to East Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

S. Census Bureau.

An excellent school system and low crime rate make Emory a positive place to raise children.  Located between Lake Fork and Lake Tawakoni, Emory is a place where recreation and quality of life go hand-in-hand with a thriving business community.
