== Fun facts ==
* Slipdown Mountain and Slipdown Bluff, at a height of 1,368 feet (417 m), are the highest points in Parker County. They are located just east of the Advance community, southwest of Poolville.
* Parker County is arguably the most powerfully Republican county in the metroplex.
* The origin of the name Cresson has been lost to history. One book suggests the city may have been named after John Cresson, captain of a wagon train that camped in the area before the Civil War. A similar story is told that Cresson was named for an official with the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad. Cresson was at one time served by the Fort Worth and Rio Grande, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe and the Nancy Hanks railroad companies. It has also been suggested that Cresson was named for Cresson, Pennsylvania, another city with a strong railroading history.
* The Parker County Electric Mills are located southwest of Annetta.
* Hudson Oaks has been the site of two similar but unrelated family murder-suicides. On July 16, 2002, Dee Etta Perez shot and killed her three children before using the same gun to kill herself. On May 29, 2007, Gilberta Estrada (age 25) and her four daughters Maria Teresa Estrada, Janet Frayre, Magaly Frayre and Evelyn Frayre (ages 5 years, 3 years, 2 years, and 8 months) were found hanging in a closet in their mobile home. The 8-month-old infant was found alive and taken to Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas. The sheriffs and other investigators concluded that the incident was a murder-suicide. The surviving infant was placed in a foster home.
