Johnsons Station (sometimes Johnson Station) was an unincorporated community in Tarrant County, located in the U.S. state of Texas.[1] The area is now within the city of Arlington. All that may visibly remain of the settlement is a cemetery located at the present-day intersection of Mayfield and Cooper streets south of Arlington's downtown area.[2] A state Historical Marker is posted at the cemetery which tells of the area's early history, including the presence of a Ranger station and a trading post.[3]
