After a 1909 survey for homesteading, people began to flock to Grand Prairie. By 1912, the city had a post office, a land office, a bank, and a hotel. When the railway reached the region in 1916, it became the terminus, and this strategic placement has been the key to its development. Before the 1950s, it was majorly agricultural, but oil gas and tree products have fuelled much of its more recent growth.
