Founded in 1978 by Donald R. Horton in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, D. R. Horton is ranked as the largest house builder by units closed in the United States since 2002. The company has its headquarters in the D. R. Horton Tower in Downtown Fort Worth, Texas

It employs 3,000 workers nationwide. The official slogan of D. R. Horton is "America's Builder", rooted in the fact that the company occupies the top slot among America's largest house builders. The national headquarters of D. R. Horton are located in downtown Fort Worth, Texas, where the company occupies the D. R. Horton Tower, a 38-story skyscraper prominent on the Fort Worth skyline. The founder of D. R. Horton, Donald Ray Horton, continues to serve the company as chairman of the board of directors.
Of livable and affordable new homes built with unmatched efficiencies and uncompromising quality. Of family traditions passed on to new generations. Of a business that would grow by making customers’ dreams a reality.
That philosophy of creating value every step of the way was the Company's signature focus when Horton unveiled his first neighborhood in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area over three decades ago. As the Company grew from a local homebuilder, to a regional homebuilder, to ultimately the largest homebuilder in the United States, that philosophy has never wavered.
Today, D.R. Horton continues to demonstrate its leadership in residential development through design innovation, superior craftsmanship, and responsiveness to the needs of its customers.   The simple vision that began over 35 years ago represents years of value and security when you choose America's Builder to make your dreams come true.
