The Story of Annetta South
Annetta South shares its origins with its sister towns in the historic Annetta community, established around 1880 by A. B. Fraser — a former Confederate bridge-builder who named the settlement "Anneta" after his daughter, born during his years working in Honduras.
When the long-unincorporated Annetta area chose to formalize in 1979, it split into three towns rather than one. Annetta South incorporated during the 1980s, reporting roughly 115 residents at the time — making it one of the smallest municipalities in Parker County.
Like its neighbors, Annetta South deliberately stayed rural: a quiet enclave of large residential lots and horse properties that resisted being swallowed by suburban sprawl creeping west from Fort Worth.
Its families are served by the A-rated Aledo ISD, and the town keeps the close-knit, acreage character that has defined the Annetta name for nearly 150 years.
