Explore Dallas, Texas in an RVshare RV Rental

John Neely Bryan was a very determined man when he arrived in the Three Forks area in 1839 from Arkansas. He envisioned a trading post at what would become Dallas because it was the most accessible point to cross the river. Bryan returned to Arkansas to finalize his plans, and the United States government enacted laws to remove Native Americans from North Texas. When Bryan returned in 1841, he discovered that the Native Americans had stayed and the settlers had left the area. He went to Peters Colony and convinced some settlers to move back to the area surrounding his post. 

News of excellent farming conditions traveled fast, and by the time Dallas was incorporated in 1860, the community had grown to 2,000 people. Following the Civil War, cotton became a major crop, and it was shipped to St. Louis on trains that first arrived in 1872. Falling farm prices and difficulty getting finances for farming operations would have stopped Dallas' growth, except for the Industrial Revolution. Soon, new businesses were springing up everywhere, and the city's future was assured.
