Welcome to Corsicana, Texas and to our website. We are a city of approximately 25,000 located fifty-five miles south of Dallas on I-45.

Corsicana offers the best of both worlds - urban and rural. Our historic downtown area includes the Palace Theater, the Warehouse Living Arts Center and Martin's Opry House. The Pearce Civil War Museum and Western Art Museum, located on the campus of Navarro College, are outstanding expositions not to be missed.

The City of Corsicana has an outstanding parks system, and Richland-Chambers and Navarro Mills Reservoirs offer excellent fishing and water sports activities. Pioneer Village presents an authentic look at our area beginning with the mid-nineteenth century.

Most of all, Corsicana's friendly citizens welcome you. As Mayor, and speaking for the City Council and dedicated City employees, I welcome you to Corsicana.
