The History
How Bedford came to be.
The story behind this suburb, in plain language, as the Sharcom Realty Group team tells it to buyers who are just starting their search. Dates and figures are approximate and drawn from public histories; verify specifics before you rely on them.
Bedford was settled in the 1840s and named for Bedford County, Tennessee, by early pioneers. It grew as a farming community and, after World War II, as one of the first bedroom suburbs of the DFW metro.
Its position in the Mid-Cities, between Dallas and Fort Worth, has made it a steady, family-oriented community with deep roots and convenient access to DFW Airport.
The city has kept its small-town civic feel while growing into a mature, fully built-out residential market.
