'''Grapevine''' is a city located in northeast [[Tarrant County, Texas]], United States, with minor portions extending into [[Dallas County, Texas|Dallas County]] and [[Denton County, Texas|Denton County]]. The population was 50,631 at the time of the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]], up from 46,334 in the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]]. The city is located in the [[Mid-Cities]] suburban region between Dallas and Fort Worth and includes a larger portion of [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport]] than other cities.

The city is adjacent to [[Grapevine Lake]], a large reservoir impounded by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1952 that serves as a source of water and a recreational area.

==History==

[[File:Main Street (20106828).jpg|thumb|left|Postcard of Main Street in Grapevine, c. 1900–1908]]

In October 1843, General [[Sam Houston]] and fellow Republic of Texas Commissioners camped at Tah-Wah-Karro Creek, also known as Grape Vine Springs, to meet with leaders of 10 Indian nations.<ref>{{cite web
 |title=Tehuacana Creek Treaty

}}</ref> This meeting culminated in the signing of a treaty of "peace, friendship, and commerce," which opened the area for homesteaders. The settlement that emerged was named Grape Vine due to its location on the appropriately-named Grape Vine Prairie near Grape Vine Springs, both names in homage to the wild grapes that grew in the area. Grapevine is the oldest settlement in Tarrant County, dating back to 1844 when Texas was a republic before statehood in 1845.

The first recorded white settlement in what would become the modern city occurred in the late 1840s and early 1850s. General [[Richard Montgomery Gano]] owned property near Grape Vine and helped organize the early settlement against [[Comanche]] raiding parties before leading his band of volunteers to battle in the [[American Civil War]]. Growth during the 19th century was slow but steady; by 1890, Grape Vine had about 800 residents supported by such amenities as a newspaper, a [[Public school (government funded)|public school]], several [[cotton gin]]s, a [[post office]], and [[railroad]] service. The settlement made continued gains early in the 20th century and on January 12, 1914, the post office altered the town's name to one word: Grapevine.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.grapevinechamber.org/government/history-of-grapevine/ | title=History of Grapevine }}</ref>

On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1934, [[Henry Methvin]], an associate of [[Bonnie Parker]] and [[Clyde Barrow]], killed two police officers, E.B. Wheeler, and H.D. Murphy, during an altercation near Grapevine. A historical marker remains at the intersection of Dove Road and State Highway 114.<ref>{{cite news|last=Anderson |first=Brian |title=Reality less romantic than outlaw legend |newspaper=Dallas Morning News |date=2003-04-15 |url=http://www.dallasnews.com/s/dws/spe/2003/bonnieclyde/story.html |access-date=2008-03-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080225034912/http://www.dallasnews.com/s/dws/spe/2003/bonnieclyde/story.html |archive-date=February 25, 2008 }}</ref>

Grapevine's population fell during the interwar period, as the economy stagnated, though the city was officially incorporated in 1936. Cotton was the primary crop for Grapevine until the early 20th century when it was overtaken by [[cantaloupe]] farms that accounted for 25,000 acres. For several decades, until the early 1970s, the Rotary Club sign outside of town boasted Grapevine as the "Cantaloupe Capital of the World".<ref>[http://impactnews.com/dfw-metro/grapevine-colleyville-southlake/cantaloupe-capital/ Cantaloupe capital – Community Impact Newspaper<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140225060120/http://impactnews.com/dfw-metro/grapevine-colleyville-southlake/cantaloupe-capital/ |date=2014-02-25 }}</ref> Population growth and economic gains resumed to some extent in the decades after [[World War II]]. The opening of Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport in 1974 spurred massive development. Grapevine depended heavily upon agricultural production prior to the mid-20th century but transformed into a regional center of commerce because of its proximity to the airport's north entrance.

In recent years, several [[wineries]] have opened in Grapevine, and the city has been active in maintaining its historic downtown corridor.

==Transportation==

===Highways===
Two grade-separated highways run through the city. [[State Highway]]s 114 and 121 trisect Grapevine south and slightly west of downtown. 121 runs from the south and 114 from the northwest. The highways intersect near Mustang Drive and William D. Tate Avenue and continue together towards the airport before splitting again at the north entrance of [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport]]. Grapevine's highways 2010 underwent a significant overhaul to improve traffic flow through the area.

===Airports===
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is the main provider of air service to Grapevine and the region, providing connections to places around the state, country, and abroad. DFW is the main hub for [[American Airlines]], though other major carriers maintain a large presence. [[Dallas Love Field|Love Field]] in Dallas is relatively close to Grapevine.

===Rail===
The [[Grapevine Vintage Railroad]] provides service to and from Fort Worth along the former [[Cotton Belt Railroad]] right-of-way. The service acts more as a tourist attraction due to its slow speeds. However, the city's 50-year commitment to the [[Trinity Metro]] and approval of a half-cent sales tax increase have paid dividends through the introduction of the [[TEXRail]] service to northeast Tarrant County since January 10, 2019. New train stations downtown and north of the airport are included in the plans, as is a connection to [[Dallas Area Rapid Transit]] (DART) light rail provides mass transit service to the eastern half of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.<ref>[http://impactnews.com/grapevine-colleyville-southlake/609-transportation/13292-tex-rail-project-on-track] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007071301/http://impactnews.com/grapevine-colleyville-southlake/609-transportation/13292-tex-rail-project-on-track|date=October 7, 2011}}</ref>

TEXRail service is available in Grapevine at both DFW Airport North Station, and Grapevine Main Street Station. DART Silver Line Service is expected to begin at DFW Airport North Station by mid-2026.

===Bus===
The Convention and Visitor's Bureau operates the Grapevine Visitor's Shuttle between points of interest within the city. Additional information including stops and pricing can be found here.<ref>[https://www.grapevinetexasusa.com/MapsAndVisitorInformation/GrapevineShuttleSchedule/tabid/790/Default.aspx Grapevine, TX Shuttle Schedule | GrapevineTexasUSA.com<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110814235659/https://www.grapevinetexasusa.com/MapsAndVisitorInformation/GrapevineShuttleSchedule/tabid/790/Default.aspx |date=2011-08-14 }}</ref>

===Bicycle===

The majority of Grapevine's transportation infrastructure is centered around the automobile, though amenities for bicycles can be found. A bicycle route runs along the length of Dove Road beginning at the intersection of Dove and North Main Street, connecting Grapevine and Southlake.

Additionally, the Cotton Belt trail runs parallel to State Highway 26, from the Colleyville city limits to downtown Grapevine. The "Dallas Road" project will stretch over 1.5 miles to extend the Cotton Belt Trail with a 10-foot wide trail section along the north side of western Dallas road between William D Tate Avenue, Ball Street, and Dooley Street. A 10-foot-wide trail will also be added along the east side of Dooley north from Dallas Road to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit right of way. A 12-foot-trail section will be added east from Dooley along the north side of the DART rail corridor to Texan Trail. This will provide a very wide cement trail from Colleyville to the far east side of Grapevine.

Other bicycle paths can be found at the various city parks, most notably the trail from Parr Park to Bear Creek Park. Off-road trails are also available. The Northshore Mountain Bike trail begins at Rockledge Park on the north side of Grapevine Lake and continues into Flower Mound along the shore. Mileage is 22.5 miles broken up into two major loops: East Loops, 1 – 4, which are 12.5 miles, and the West Loops, 5 – 7.  Horseshoe Trail begins at Catfish Lane, continues to Dove Road, and loops back to the trailhead, for a total of 5.4 miles.

===Running===
Grapevine received the Runner Friendly Community designation from the Road Runners Club of America. Grapevine has approximately 24 miles of hike and bike trails that link parks, schools, and businesses. The hike and bike trails have mileage markers that also have GPS coordinates for location identification in case of emergencies. The city also has an indoor 1/8 mile walking/jogging track and several outdoor tracks that belong to the local school district. The city has a joint-use agreement with the school district for the use of school facilities.

The hike and bike trails in Grapevine include water fountains, community bathrooms or portable toilets, available parking, signs linking pedestrian networks, mile markers, walk lights at busy intersections, stop signs at residential intersections, and painted crosswalks. One trail in Grapevine links with four other communities, creating an additional 11-mile trail.
