A Good Place To Call Home
Tatum, TX

Tatum is no ordinary small town with its daily hustle and bustle. We're a close-knit community with a simple, down-home way of life. Tatum takes pride in our excellent 3A Public Schools, the beloved Tatum Eagle’s football team, Martin Creek Lake State Park, and the rich history that shaped our town. Not to mention the serene tall pines and oak trees that dot the red clay hills of East Texas.

So, welcome to a cozy country lifestyle, conveniently located near city amenities and plenty of recreational opportunities. Tatum is a wonderful place for growing families, new businesses, and economic growth. Whether you're just passing through or considering a move, we hope you'll make Tatum your next Hometown Stop!
