What makes Joshua special
Joshua is a small Johnson County city with railroad roots and a distinctive local landmark.
A railroad beginning
Joshua was organized in 1881 when the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway built a station on its line between Cleburne and Fort Worth.
How Joshua got its name
Residents first chose the name Caddo Peak, but the post office rejected it because another town already used it, so the community became Joshua.
An interurban stop
Joshua was a stop on the Cleburne to Fort Worth interurban from 1912 to 1932.
A city on the rise
Joshua grew from 8,680 residents in 2022 to 9,352 in 2025, an increase of 7.7% in three years.
