Tarrant County History

Surprisingly few of the people buying condos in Tarrant County TX know much about the county’s history. It has long been a contested territory, changing hands between the Wichita, Tawakoni, Jumano, Kickapoo and Comanche peoples long before colonization, and then belonging to Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas and finally the United States.

Tarrant county itself was formed in 1849, from a small part of the former Peters Colony. Initially, Birdville was the county seat, but Fort Worth grew much faster, and by 1860 Fort Worth was the center of county government.

Once a land of cattle ranches and later oil rigs, Tarrant became a major military asset between WW1 and WW2. Recent years have seen Tarrant County moving past its defense industry roots to embrace a service-based economy, as well as a thriving construction industry.
