Back in 1860, William H. Hunt was granted a charter to build a wooden bridge that spanned the west fork of the Trinity River. However, after the American Civil War began, the wooden bridge was abandoned, and in 1873 a new iron bridge was built about a mile from the original. Hence the name Bridgeport!

Bridgeport is a small, incredibly beautiful city located in north-central Texas with a population of 6,138 and counting. With Highway 380 along its northern border and Highway 114 bisecting the city from north to south, it is relatively easy to commute in any direction. Encompassing a 3.7 square mile area, Bridgeport is a very close-knit community, but without annoyingly nosy or intrusive neighbors. If you love water sports, fishing, and exploring new trails, you will adore all of the activities the locals enjoy while visiting Lake Bridgeport, located just west of the city.

Moving to Bridgeport

There are a few things to consider before you make your move that will help you on your journey to a new home. If you can avoid making the move during the summer months, you can save yourself from the heat of north Texas as well as tornado season. If you find you must move to Bridgeport during this season, keep tabs on the weather and plan accordingly. Weather notwithstanding, anytime is a good time for renting an apartment in Bridgeport. Be sure to bring your identification, credit and work references, as well as money for application fees and deposits that are typically required upon signing. Another tip would be to drive around town to acquaint yourself with the area, if at all possible. If not, enlisting the help of a local real estate agent to help find apartments is a very smart idea. He or she will be able to find places that will meet or come very close to your needs, simplifying the entire process by cutting out the time it would take you to search on your own.
