How it all started…

The community began when W.S. Peters agreed to bring 600 families into the area within a three-year period as part of a land grant. Families began arriving in the summer of 1848. In 1849, Tarrant County was established and named for General Edward H. Tarrant. The area remained a rural farming and ranching community for more than 100 years. In 1952, Clarence Jones began to subdivide his 268-acres dairy farm into a suburban addition in the area that is now Cummings Drive. And that is how everything started.

Today
