Getting to know Alvord

Alvord is a Wise County town on the U.S. 81/287 corridor. Business U.S. 81 follows a route through town separate from the through highway, a useful distinction when comparing addresses and access. The public library provides a local point of contact for community history and activities.

Places to know

Alvord Public Library. A community library with information about the town and local history.

Check at the address, not the town name

  • Look at the actual driveway connection and route to U.S. 287; a highway-adjacent parcel and a street inside town can have different access arrangements.
  • School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: TEA school district locator, FEMA flood maps, county appraisal districts.
