M idlothian History

​In 1888, Midlothian became an incorporated city, and in 1980, the city of Midlothian became a “Home Rule City.” Under “Home Rule,” the city operates under a council-manager form of government with six city council members and a mayor. The City Council is comprised of an elected mayor and six elected at-large council members. The City Manager is appointed by the elected city council, and he or she acts as policy advisor to the council and implements council directives.

High Ratings and a Bright Future

Midlothian boasts an excellent bond rating, resulting in substantial savings on capital investments needed to maintain a high quality of life. Contributing factors to bond ratings are the strength of the local tax base and the city’s financial management practices. High ratings with agencies, such as Standard and Poors and Moody’s, mean lower costs on bonds, a primary tool in building Midlothian’s future.

A Blend of Rural Living and Urban Amenities

As it continues to grow and prosper, Midlothian aims to maintain its vision of “blending a rural quality of life with urban amenities, enriched by exceptional schools, churches and neighborhoods where innovative partnerships of citizens, businesses and governments respond to community needs.” Meeting the challenge on a daily basis is a city staff of over 160 employees, which forms the basis for one of the best-managed cities in Texas. City employees work in an organizational culture that is committed to outstanding customer service, combining teamwork and creativity to provide a wide array of services. Located at 215 N. 8th St., Midlothian, the Midlothian City Hall is open during the week to provide information and answers to citizen questions and concerns.
