Small-town charm with Big City access

Founded in 1902 by the family of John “Jot” Gunter, the city remains a small but ever growing part of Grayson County. In fact, the entire area makes up just 17.70 square miles, with an estimated population of around 1,675 residents. The area prides itself on the preservation of its history and a high quality of life for those who live here.

Gunter is a mere 18 miles away from Sherman Texas, and 10 miles to Celina, making it easy to travel to nearby cities without leaving the comfort of that small-town feel that Gunter provides.

A community dedicated to excellence in both business and private life, the city has grown in leaps and bounds over the last few years. Originally only 1.5 square miles, the area expanded exponentially in the early 2000’s, and has been seeing a rise in local businesses, due in a large part to its proximity to Highway 289, the greater metropolitan area and Lake Texoma.

Recent developments include the opening on a Sonic Drive-In, a Dollar General, and a Landmark Bank branch, which provided the area with its first financial institution in over 90 years. The city’s motto is “The Road To The Future”, an aspiration that it instills in its residents as the area continues to grow and expand. Whether you’re seeking a quiet place to live, or proximity to the big cities, there’s something for everyone in Gunter.
