Grand
Prairie is on U.S. highways 80 and 303, Interstate
highways 20 and 30, and Farm Road 1382, thirteen miles
west of downtown Dallas in western Dallas and eastern
Tarrant counties. The town comprises seventy-three
square miles enclosed by Dallas, Arlington, Irving,
and Cedar Hill. Mountain Creek Lake is on the east, a
portion of Joe Pool Lake is in southern Grand Prairie,
and Kirby, Cottonwood, and Fish creeks flow through
the community. Settlers arrived in the area before the
Civil War and built several stores, including the M.
M. Miller store and the Phillip Goetsell store. The
community was not organized, however, until 1863, when
A. M. Dechman's wagon broke down on his trip from
Jacksonville, Texas, to Fort Belknap with supplies for
the army commissary. He traded his broken wagon, ox
team, and $200 of Confederate money for a 239-JDre
tract that had originally been granted, on May 1,
1850, to William and Walter Caruth. |
