Grandview, Texas
Grandview is a city in Johnson County, in the prairie farmland south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, roughly 35 miles southeast of Fort Worth. The surrounding country is gently rolling blackland and grassland long worked for farming and ranching. Its location along the interstate corridor between the metroplex and Waco has kept it a small crossroads community.
