About us
Sanger, in north central Denton County, was founded in 1886 as a stop on the Santa Fe Railroad. Cattle from the ranches of north Denton County were driven up the old cattle trails through Sanger to northern markets. The cattle industry of the prairies of north Denton County contributed to the founding of the town, and wheat growing contributed substantially to its economy as did the production of oats, maize, millet and cotton. Santa Fe named Sanger in honor of one of its customers, the Sanger family who owned stores in Waco and Dallas. The F.M. Ready family was the first to settle in Sanger in October 1887, the same year as the first engine and caboose arrived. In 1920 the building of a state highway that connected Sanger and Dallas helped compensate for the declining rail business. Cattle and other livestock are raised around Sanger, and there are several horse farms for the breeding and training of registered stock. Wal-Mart operated a distribution center in Sanger and employs approximately 600 people. Anchored on the downtown square, Sanger’s downtown businesses continue to thrive. The population in 1980 was 2,574, an increase of 60.6% since 1970. In 1990, the population was 3,508, and the city of Sanger’s current population is approximately 7,000.

The City of Sanger is proud to announce that City Manager John Noblitt has been named one of American City & County’s Exemplary Public Servants for 2024. This prestigious national recognition honors Mr. Noblitt’s outstanding leadership, innovative vision, and unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of Sanger residents. Mr. Noblitt’s selection highlights a year of transformative achievements that have set the City of Sanger on a path toward sustainable growth and long-term prosperity. Among his notable accomplishments: Securing Reliable Electricity for Sanger’s Future: Mr. Noblitt negotiated a groundbreaking 16-year agreement with the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) to provide reliable electricity at a low, fixed-rate with no ancillary fees. This agreement is projected to save the City millions of dollars over its term, freeing up funds for critical infrastructure investments. Strategic Infrastructure Planning: Under his leadership, Sanger acquired property to develop a regional wastewater treatment plant, expand water storage capacity, and enhance utility systems. The property will also feature parks and trails, providing valuable recreational space for residents. Attracting a Grocery Store and New Development: In response to years of resident requests for a local grocery store, Mr. Noblitt worked with developers, property owners, and the Economic Development Organization to secure a Tom Thumb grocery store as part of a 2,000-home development. This project will bring essential services and new retail opportunities to the community. Advocating for City Staff and Retirees: Recognizing the need for competitive compensation, Mr. Noblitt commissioned a comprehensive salary study that resulted in significant pay increases for City employees—up to 20% or more in some cases. He also increased pension matches and secured cost-of-living adjustments for retirees, ensuring fair compensation across the board. “I offer congratulations to John upon his receipt of this award,” said Mayor Thomas Muir. The Exemplary Public Servants program recognizes individuals who go above and beyond in their service to the public, embodying the values of dedication, innovation, and accountability. Mr. Noblitt’s contributions to Sanger have been instrumental in fostering economic development, ensuring financial stability, and improving the overall quality of life for residents. “I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from American City & County,” said Mr. Noblitt. “This award reflects the collective efforts of our City staff, community leaders, and residents who work together to make Sanger a vibrant and thriving City. It is a privilege to serve this community, and I look forward to continuing our progress in the years to come.”
