Bridgeport, Texas

Bridgeport's history began in 1860, when a toll bridge near the current townsite was built across the Trinity River to accommodate the Butterfield Stagecoach that ran from St. Louis to San Francisco. A post office was established in 1873, near the toll bridge that gave birth to the city. To celebrate the days of the stagecoach, Bridgeport hosts its largest event of the year, Butterfield Stage Days, the second weekend in May. The annual rodeo is held during the second weekend in July, and other events include Coal Miner's Day in September, Pumpkin Fest in October, and the Cavalcade of Lights Christmas parade.
