Popularly known as 'The Crossroads of Texas', Waxahachie is one of the more family-oriented suburbs in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The nickname came about due to its location at the intersection of U.S. Highway 287 and Interstate 35E, where upward of 80,000 vehicles pass everyday. But that is more an exception than a rule as most of the city communicates a small-town vibe that makes you feel instantly at home. Fitting then that WalletHub ranked Waxahachie the 45th Best Texas City for Families in 2016.
