Located on Interstate 20 between Shreveport, LA and Dallas, TX, Longview is a great place to live. The surroundings include towering pines, blooming azaleas, rolling hills and pastures dotted with an occasional oil well.
Recreational facilities are in abundance.
There are over 25 lakes within 75 miles which provide great fishing and water sports. Shopping and entertainment opportunities abound. An ideal climate helps to make this an area that over 73,000 East Texans call home. The Pine Tree ISD was established in 1847 when Texas had been a state for only a year and James K. Polk was president. Growth was slow but stable, with agriculture being the primary source of income through the turn of the century.
