Longview grew up with the East Texas Oil Field, whose 1930 discovery made this one of the most famous oil regions in the country, and today it pairs energy with a substantial manufacturing base, including chemical production and heavy equipment. Regional hospitals, LeTourneau University and nearby Kilgore College help make the city the commercial center for a wide area of northeast Texas.

Longview sits on Interstate 20 between Dallas and Shreveport, and while the drive is straightforward, it is long enough that a round trip from Dallas or Houston fills most of a day. A direct flight turns a plant visit, a client lunch or a family event into a few hours away from home. Visitors come for the Great Texas Balloon Race, the oil boom history in neighboring Kilgore, the famous Kilgore Rangerettes, and the lakes and bayous of the Piney Woods, including the moss-draped cypress swamps of Caddo Lake on the Louisiana line. Historic Jefferson, with its antique shops, inns and riverboat-era homes, makes an easy day trip.

Things to do in Longview

When to go. Spring brings dogwoods and wildflowers to the Piney Woods and is a great time for paddling Caddo Lake before the summer heat sets in. In summer, the Great Texas Balloon Race fills Longview’s skies with color for one of the region’s best-known festivals. Fall offers cooler temperatures and changing leaves around the lakes, and winters are mild with occasional ice, while summers turn hot and muggy.
