Thank you for your interest in Bonham
and Fannin County. The Bonham Area is becoming more and more a place
people want to be – to visit or to live.
The City of Bonham is in the midst of
an exciting time of growth and of reclaiming our history. We were
designated a Main Street community in 1995 by the State of Texas. The
results can be seen in the numerous restored buildings downtown.
Over the next few years we will be
working to recover the original uniqueness and beauty of our downtown
area. Heritage District improvements have began and four major phases are
complete. In the heart of our downtown community at the Fannin County
Courthouse is a brand new streetscape resulting in additional parking
spaces, landscaping, trees and antique streetlights. Also completed is the
three and half blocks of Main Street, including a new seventy-five car off
street parking lot that is only a short stroll from downtown shopping.
