Located in Grayson County, Whitesboro is populated by approximately 3,800 Texans. Whitesboro was named after Ambrose B. White who moved to the city in the 1840s and ran the famous White’s Westview Inn. At the time, Whitesboro had a simple community of 14 families. A former “wolf path,” it has retained its share of lush woods and game. Living on Whitesboro, TX ranch land is a pleasant experience because of the small-town charm and its proximity to the big city.
One of the most notable events in Whitesboro is the Annual Peanut Festival. The peanut farmer was a very important member of the community because peanuts used to be the number one crop in the city. The 3rd Saturday of October every year is set aside to honor the hard work and dedication they have shown so that the city could prosper.
More than 20,000 people come to join the celebration every year. During the celebration, locals compete against each other in a peanut shelling contest, peanut spitting contest, and jalapeno eating contest.
