Josephine spans Collin and Hunt counties. Its townsite developed with the railroad in 1888, and the city’s historical marker is located at City Park on South Main and Swanson streets. The park’s pavilion and seasonal splash pad provide a contemporary local reference point alongside that history.

### Places to know

**Josephine City Park.** A city park with pavilion space and a seasonal splash pad; it also hosts the community’s historical marker.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Use the parcel’s county when retrieving tax and deed information.
- Review current city plans and subdivision records to distinguish existing roads and parks from proposed improvements.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
