About Greenville
Greenville, Texas sits at the heart of Hunt County northeast of Dallas — a small city with big-hearted hospitality, a thriving local dining scene, and a genuine Texas character that big-city visitors find refreshingly authentic. From the historic downtown square to Lake Tawakoni's fishing and water sports, Greenville rewards travelers looking for the real Texas beyond the metroplex.
