Historic Downtown Carrollton

There’s a lot that’s new about our historic neighborhood! We celebrated our Centennial in 2013, but our party has just begun.  Something old and something new. We have 2 wonderful parks that pays homage to the very center of community life that started our beloved City of Carrollton over a century ago. The Switchyard brought commerce and the founders of our community. Mercantile interests stimulated the proliferation of restaurants, retail stores and a plethora of services. A community came together and kept this legacy alive.  Today, the DART, the old railway, the small businesses and a thriving community bear the markers of where we were, and show us how far we’ve gone.  Our OLD DOWNTOWN CARROLLTON ASSOCIATION (ODCA) continues this legacy by holding on to this mercantile beginnings. Hand in hand with our City of Carrollton and our community, we hope to preserve this legacy for the next 100 years.  Come visit with us, and feel the exciting new energy, friendly hometown feel, enjoy the great food, the shops, the amenities and the events in our new yet historic Downtown Carrollton!
