History of Grapevine, Texas

The small city was first settled by Americans in the 1840s but was not officially incorporated until 1907, according to the city’s website. The town grew slowly from that time until 1974, when the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was completed. After that, the population saw rapid growth for several years as people moved in to take airport-related jobs.

Educational Opportunities

A large percentage of the town’s adult population has college degrees, and that emphasis on education is reflected in the city’s schools. The town has one public high school and a handful of elementary and middle schools, several of which have received top ratings. It is also close to many colleges and universities, including the University of Texas at Arlington and Texas Christian University.
