Living in Forney
A quick drive east from downtown Dallas on US-80 will bring you to Forney, a small American town with plenty of charm. Forney embraces its Southern roots laid by settlers and pioneers, but also looks towards the future by investing in the community and its residents.
The broad expanse of prairie and grassland was settled in the late 1800s. Originally named Brooklyn after the networks of springs that flowed into a brook, citizens discovered that a Brooklyn already existed in another area further southeast. The area was then renamed Forney, after John Wien Forney, civil engineer, journalist, politician, and prominent member of the community. Settlers trickled into Forney over the years, increasing the population to more than 3,000 by 1960. The last recorded population in 2010 was nearly 15,000.
