Murphy is a Collin County city northeast of Dallas with roots in a late-nineteenth-century farming and railway community. Its historic shipping activity included cotton, corn, and onions. Today the city maintains parks and trails, including North Hill Park, alongside its residential areas.

### Places to know

**North Hill Park.** A local recreation space in Murphy’s municipal park system.

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

- Check the school attendance zone and municipal permit information for the specific address; neighboring cities and shared postal descriptions do not define those boundaries.
- 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).
