CENTENNIAL: Grand Prairie, Texas 1909-2009 CENTENNIAL: Grand Prairie, Texas 1909-2009 Foreword “Centennial” is a window into the growth and development of Grand Prairie, Texas, USA Compiled from City Documents and Public Records, the information presented is representative of actions and events in the City of Grand Prairie during its first 100 years. Grand Prairie was given its name by the Texas and Pacific Railroad based on its location on the southern edge of a geological region called “Grand Prairie” that is composed of Eagleford Shale stretching from Texas north through the Dakotas and into Canada. Compiled and Written as a Public Service by Katherine L. Houk May 1, 2008 (The author receives no compensation from sales of this book) CENTENNIAL: Grand Prairie, Texas 1909-2009 CENTENNIAL 2009! 100 YEARS OF GROWTH—GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS FOREWORD CHAPTER 1 GRAND PRAIRIE TODAY CHAPTER 2 THE CITY: 1980-2000 CHAPTER 3 THE CITY: 1960-1980 CHAPTER 4 THE CITY: 1940-1960 CHAPTER 5 THE CITY: 1920-1940 CHAPTER 6 THE CITY: 1909-1920 CHAPTER 7 PRE-1909 CENTENNIAL: Grand Prairie, Texas 1909-2009 CHAPTER 1: 2000-2009 GRAND PRAIRIE TODAY Grand Prairie, Texas, is celebrating its 100th birthday as an incor- porated city in 2009. With a population approaching 170,000 people, the city is no longer a stagecoach stop between Dallas and Fort Worth. In fact, Grand Prairie is the 7th largest city in North Central Texas, enjoying an international economy, with a tax base in excess of $10 Billion. In 2007, the City was the 6th fastest growing municipality in the United States. More than 20% of single family homes have no mortgage. Fiscally conser- vative, the City is highly diversified, comprised of roughly 32% white (non Hispanic) and 21.8% foreign born. Diversification is also a key in recreation with the City boasting world class horse racing, theatre and ball park venues seating more than 6,000 per- sons, and an extensive park system. Completion of SH-161 will be the culmination of planning begun in the 1970’s when the City Council of Grand Prairie supported construction of the project that was originally designated “Loop 9”. The Coalition for Community Concerns, a group of home- owners opposed to the construction of the west leg of Loop 9 (the current right-of-way for SH-161) lobbied heavily against the project, delaying the project in litigation for more than 13 years. During the 2000-2009 period, the City has given more responsi- bility to home owners by requiring Planned Improvement Dis- tricts (PIDs) for new residential subdivisions. Maintenance of properties in the subdivisions is provided by the PID itself, with City oversight. An International highpoint was the 2004 Breeders Cup held at Lone Star Park (below).

Together, they formed Massachusetts, stands outside the historic residence where a small group of activists the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts—the first ACLU state affiliate in founded the organization in 1920. the nation. The ACLU has always been rooted in courage and guided by a vision: to extend the promise of civil rights and civil liberties to all people. In 1920, the U.S. Supreme Court had yet to uphold a single free speech claim. So- called radicals were rounded up and deported in droves. Activists languished in jail for distributing anti-war literature and for promoting contraception and equal rights. Women won the right to vote just that year, and the Voting Rights Act was decades away. Equal rights for LGBTQ people were unthinkable. And yet, the ACLU dared to envision how, by standing together in support of civil rights and civil liberties, we could create a more just and equitable nation for all. Much has changed in the last century—but our role has not. For 100 years, the ACLU has been the leading defender of freedom here in Massachusetts and nationwide. The ACLU has grown from a small group of idealists to a vast resistance movement.

Box 71 Vincennes, Indiana 47591 March 28, 2015 Ladies and Gentlemen: Vincennes is Indiana’s first city, and this historic community lays claim to many other Indiana firsts—first bank, first newspaper, first university, first hospital, and the capital of the Indiana Territory, before Indiana became a state.DOUGLAS It seems E. STEELE fitting, PRESIDENT that Vincennes should also be home to the first Rotary club chartered in a town of less than 25,000 people, a town that Rotary International thought was too small to sustain a club! After nearly two years of persistence, and with the help and sponsorship of the Terre Haute Rotary Club, Vincennes received its charter, and the rest is history. We not only became a viable Rotary club but have been an active, vibrant club that is doing what good Rotary clubs do—making a difference in their community and beyond! Welcome to the Vincennes Rotary Centennial Celebration, and thank you for helping us celebrate our successful, first 100 years. Last October, we were the first club in District 6580 to conduct a three-year visioning process which, I feel confident, will help us to positively kick off our second 100 years.
