Azle, Texas
Azle straddles the Parker–Tarrant county line on the northwestern side of the Dallas–Fort Worth area, about 16 miles west of Fort Worth. It sits on the shore of Eagle Mountain Lake, a reservoir on the West Fork of the Trinity River that gives the community a lakeside character and supports boating and fishing. Once a rural farming town, Azle has grown into a suburban community as the metroplex has spread westward.
