About Mineral Wells

What you're shopping for power in.

Mineral Wells is a Palo Pinto and Parker County city about 50 miles west of Fort Worth — historic resort town built around the 1880s mineral-water boom (the Baker Hotel is the local icon). Modern economy mixes manufacturing, the former Fort Wolters site, and tourism.

Climate & bill pattern

Hot dry summers, cold dry winters, severe-thunderstorm exposure (the Brad-Mineral Wells corridor sees frequent April-May tornado activity).

Older housing stock (1,300-1,600 sq ft, 1950s-70s) dominates; weaker building envelopes drive higher AC and heat costs per square foot than newer-build DFW suburbs.
