The Story of Annetta North
Annetta North is one of three towns born from the historic Annetta community, which was founded around 1880 by A. B. Fraser and named for his daughter Anneta — a name he coined while building railway bridges in Honduras, combining "Annie" with the Spanish "-ita" for "little."
For nearly a century the Annetta area east of Weatherford was a single rural community of churches, farms and a railroad shipping point. As the Metroplex pushed west and residents wanted local control, the community formally divided.
Annetta North incorporated in the mid-1980s with about 281 residents, choosing self-government to preserve its rural, low-density character against the surrounding suburban growth.
Today Annetta North remains a small town of affluent residential acreage and horse properties just east of Aledo, with students attending the A-rated Aledo ISD.
