Boyd is a town in Wise County, Texas, United States. The population was 1,416 in 2020.[3] It is 30 miles (48 km) northwest of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.
Originally named Greasy Bend in reference to the local hog fattening industry, the settlement was established in the early 1890s by farmers. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad reached the town in 1893 and the settlement was subsequently renamed Parkhurst in reference to one of the railroad's officials. Not long afterwards, the town renamed again to Boyd (another railroad official) to avoid possible confusion with the nearby Park Springs.[4]
Boyd has a total area of 4.1sqmi, all land.[5]
