The History

How Grapevine 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.

Grapevine is the oldest settlement in Tarrant County, founded in 1844 by pioneers of the Missouri Colony and platted in 1854. It grew as a farming and cotton town for more than a century.

The completion of Grapevine Lake in the 1950s and the arrival of DFW Airport in the 1970s reshaped its economy, and the restoration of Historic Main Street in the 1980s turned it into a premier heritage destination.

Today it anchors the Texas wine trail and calls itself the Christmas Capital of Texas.
