Centered in renowned Blackland Prairie agricultural region. Named for John T. Bartlett, who donated the townsite to the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad. In 1878, the community had three residences. Divided by Bell and Williamson county lines, history has it that enterprising saloon proprietors took advantage of the county line dissecting their business by having a bar on wheels to accommodate laws in both counties.

The Bartlett Historic Commercial District, listed on National Register of Historic Places, is a two-block area of early 20th-century buildings housing quality arts and crafts, plus fine antiques. Streets paved in red brick link predominant red masonry construction. Replica street lamps and corner benches with flower pots add to turn-of-the-century nostalgia.
