Is Grapevine a small town? It certainly feels like one with its charming, walkable Main Street lined with local shops and restaurants housed in beautiful vintage buildings. With authentic early 1900s architecture and well-done replicas, the entire neighborhood is designated as a National Register Historic District.
But back in 1843, Grapevine was little more than a tangle of wild mustang grapes when Sam Houston gathered here with leaders of 10 Indigenous tribes (and Texas was its own country). They signed a peace treaty that cleared the path for Anglo-American homesteaders, and the town of Grapevine was settled the following October. Five years later, Camp Worth was built just to the west on the banks of the Trinity River.
