5. Historic Downtown Grapevine

Founded in 1844, Grapevine is the oldest community in Tarrant County. In 1888, when the Cotton Belt Railroad came to Grapevine, businesses flourished and the wooden buildings on Main Street were replaced with new structures, constructed of locally-made brick. At least 80 percent of the commercial buildings in Grapevine today date from that period.

In 1907, Grapevine was incorporated as a city and today Grapevine boasts a population of nearly 50,000 people. The heart of Grapevine is the beautifully preserved, historic Main Street, which is lined with more than 80-locally owned restaurants, boutiques, jewelry stores, winery tasting rooms and art galleries. Grapevine, as a whole, boasts more than 200 restaurants, 7 winery tasting rooms, and more than 20 hotels.

You can take a ride on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad and learn more about the history of Grapevine at Nash Farm. There are also yearly festivals and planned events.
