Due to our population growth, ESD #6 was approved in 2001 by voters of the unincorporated areas outside of Forney and is funded by property taxes, the same way city residents pay for their emergency services.ĮSD #6 is an independent governmental entity managed by five members of a Board of Commissioners who serve two-year terms and are appointed by the County Commissioners. Prior to the formation of ESD #6, the families living in the rural areas of Kaufman County were served by a small, volunteer fire department. While the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Department and County Constables help protect families from crime in these unincorporated areas, fire and emergency services are provided through the Kaufman County Emergency Services District #6 (ESD #6). And, with just a few exceptions, their children attend the highly-rated Forney Independent School District. Most of these families worship in churches, participate in youth sports, shop and dine in Forney.
These families reside in various subdivisions like Windmill Farms, Devonshire and Travis Ranch, as well as on the larger lots and acreage in rural areas, with some being passed down for generations. Did you know that 28,000 people live in unincorporated areas of Kaufman county just outside the boundaries of Forney? That’s about 4,000 more residents than live within the Forney city limits.
