12. G
rapevine is the oldest settlement
in Tarrant County, originating
under the Lone Star flag in
1844, a year before Texas became a part
of the United States.
In October 1844, 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 ten
Indian nations. This historic meeting
culminated in the signing of a treaty
of “peace, friendship and commerce,”
which opened the area for settlement by
homesteaders and pioneers.
The settlement was named Grapevine
because of its location on the Grape Vine
Prairie near Grape Vine Springs, both
of which were named for the tart, wild
Mustang grapes that blanketed the area.
Following the signing of the treaty,
settlement began in the area that would
become the City of Grapevine. Growth
during the 19th century was modest but
steady. By 1890, the town had about
800 residents, along with amenities
more common in larger cities such as
a newspaper, a public school, several
cotton gins, a post office and a railroad
depot. Steady growth continued early
in the 20th century, and, on January 12,
1914, after the area had been known
by several other names, the post office
changed the town name to the one-word
title Grapevine.
Today, the City of Grapevine remains
deeply committed to the preservation
and faithful stewardship of its historic
resources.
The city even established a non-
profit organization devoted to historic
preservation advocacy called the
Grapevine Heritage Foundation. This
membership organization provides
historic preservation advocacy, education
and outreach to thousands of school
children and visitors who explore the city
each year.
The spirit of Grapevine is alive and
well thanks to the volunteer efforts of
our community including the Grapevine
Heritage Foundation and other local
organizations.
Two annual major downtown festivals -
Main Street Fest and GrapeFest - provide
funding for revitalization and new
projects that preserve and celebrate the
rich history of Grapevine for generations
to come.

18. Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, a K-12
public school system in the
heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex, is making bold changes in the
way they teach and the way students learn.
In the fourth year of their 10-year strategic
plan, the district is transforming its culture
to provide the foundation that today’s 21st
Century learners will need to be successful
now and in life beyond high school.
LEAD 2021
GCISD’s strategic plan is called LEAD
2021, which stands for Leading Excellence-
Action Driven. Through four core objectives
– preparing students to be college and career
ready, harnessing technology for learning,
fostering citizenship and mutual respect,
and building community involvement
– the district is creating an innovative
environment where students are inspired,
encouraged and supported.
One of the exciting new initiatives of
LEAD 2021 is the opening of Collegiate
Academy at Tarrant County College
Northeast. At the Collegiate Academy,
students have the opportunity to graduate
in four years with a high school diploma
and an associate’s degree.
Commitment to be the BEST
GCISD maintains a long-standing
commitment to educational excellence for
all children. Building on its mission to be
the BEST, the district continues increasing
the level of rigor in classrooms to address
expectations of the community and better
prepare students for success in college and
their future careers.
GCISD has 11 National Blue Ribbon
Schools, including Heritage Elementary
School, which earned the honor under the
No Child Left Behind initiative. Both high
schools earned places on U.S. News and
Newsweek’s Best High Schools lists and four
elementary schools were named to the 2011
National Center for Education Achievement’s
Higher Performing Schools list.
In GCISD, they employ multiple measures
to assess student progress, such as scores
on the ACT and SAT college readiness
exams. On the most recent results, GCISD
student composite scores were significantly
higher on the ACT and SAT than the scores
at both the state and national averages on
those assessments, which indicates a high
level of college readiness.
In addition, the number of students taking
the ACT increased. Each year, GCISD
graduates attend respected universities
throughout the country, from Harvard
to Stanford and many others across the
country. Students also earned scholarships
totaling $18.56 million for the Class of 2014
graduates.
Recognized for Excellence
Educators at GCISD are among the best
and have been finalists for Presidential
honors, invited to attend Supreme Court
Summer Institute, and recognized by their
peer organizations for excellence. Students
earn top honors in math and science
competitions, robotics, leadership, debate
and speech, music, athletics and literacy

GRAPEVINE-COLLEYVILLE ISD
19. - just to name a few.
For the second consecutive year, a
Grapevine High School student was named
UIL 5A State Champion at the UIL State
Academic meet, GCISD had students
from the Future Problem Solving team
advance to international competition, six
high school students were named All-State
musicians and GHS students were named
Harvard Speech and Debate champions.
Nineteen students have also been named
National Merit Semi-Finalists for the 2014-
2015 school year, and two students earned
a perfect score on the ACT.
GCISD also is recognized for excellence
in its purchasing, financial and operational
practices. Recently, the district’s Financial
Services department received recognition
for its high level of transparency, earning a
2014 Platinum Leadership Circle Award from
the Texas Comptroller’s Office. Created
in 2014, this is the first year the Platinum
designation has been available. The success
of GCISD students – past, present and
future – begins at home with the continued
support of parents and the community.
The district is fortunate to have strong
partnerships with civic organizations and
businesses in the Grapevine community.
Young Entrepreneurs Academy
In 2012, GCISD, in partnership with
the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce,
began offering a unique opportunity to
students who want to learn more about
business strategies. The Grapevine Young
Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA! Program),
connects students with business leaders
who guide them through the process of
starting their own business.
In 2014, Colleyville Middle School eighth-
grader Drew DeHaven finished in second
at the Young Entrepreneurs Academy
(YEA!) National Saunders Scholarship
Competition in Washington D.C. and will
be awarded a college scholarship.
It is an exciting time in GCISD, and the district
looks forward to continue serving alongside the
Grapevine community in striving to be the BEST.
Together, GCISD is Building Excellent Schools
Together!

Business in Grapevine expanded in 2014
due to the completion of the DFW
Connector construction project in
2013 and an overall upswing in the national
economy. New construction for the first nine
months of 2014 totaled $120 million, and retail
sales have rebounded to pre-recession levels.
Hotel occupancies rose into the lower 70%
levels, continuing Grapevine’s status as the top
hotel market in the Metroplex. Major target
industries include hospitality, entertainment,
retail and tourism. This strategy has resulted in
a visitor count of 19 to 20 million per year with
85% to 90% of retail sales originating from
non-residents.
Transportation
Grapevine has outstanding access within the
region and state. A majority of Dallas/Fort
WorthInternationalAirportislocatedwithinthe
Grapevine city limits, providing global access to
residents and visitors. Total passengers exceed
60 million per year and is expected to increase
to 70 million by 2020. Seven major highways
converge within Grapevine’s corporate limits,
providing easy access to both state and national
destinations. Commuter rail, with the Fort
Worth Transportation Authority’s (The T)
TEXRail, is scheduled to be in operation by
2018, with Grapevine planned to have a station
at the intersection of Main St. and Dallas
Rd. The commuter line will run from the
medical district in Fort Worth to the Dallas/
Fort Worth International Airport. The Dallas
Area Rapid Transit (DART) recently opened
light rail from the airport eastward into the
Dallas area, and this service will connect with
the planned commuter rail line in Grapevine.
A study done by economists Dr. Bernard
Weinstein and Dr. Terry Clower indicated that
a commuter rail station in Grapevine would
generate $50-$100 million in new or renovated
development, as well as enhance Grapevine as
a tourist and business destination. To improve
intra-city mobility, Grapevine offers a local
shuttle system, consisting of a four bus fleet
with routes between all major commercial and
tourism entities within the community.
Grapevine Mills
Grapevine Mills Mall opened in 1997 and
continues to play a major role in Grapevine’s
economy. This 1.6 million sq. ft. mall contains
200 stores and 30 kiosks. It attracts 13 to 15
million shoppers and employs 1,500 people.
Simon Corporation purchased the mall and has
continued to make the retail and entertainment
mix fresh and exciting. Simon began a $40
million renovation in 2014 to give the interior
a classic and timeless look. This renovation
is scheduled to take 12 months to complete.
In addition, a new more upscale/fashion
tenant mix has been initiated, providing new
tenants such as Coach, H&M, Michael Kors
and Kenneth Cole. Saks Off 5th and Nike
completed major renovations, adding further
value to the mall. Merlin Entertainment, the
second largest visitor attraction company in the
world with 59 attractions in Europe, Asia and
North America, opened two attractions within
the mall in 2011, LEGOLAND® Discovery
Center DFW and SEA LIFE Aquarium. Two
expansions to LEGOLAND include a forest
themed indoor driving track and an outdoor
pirate themed splash-park. LEGOLAND
and SEA LIFE Aquarium deliver a combined
attendance of 1.1 million visitors per year.
BUSINESS & INDUSTRY

Hospitality
The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention
Center recently finished the development of
their resort pool with a lazy river, cabana and
other entertainment amenities, to resounding
success. The hotel has future plans for the
addition of a 492 room tower, a 277,000 sq.
ft. convention center expansion and additional
parking spaces. Grapevine’s Great Wolf Lodge
continued to flourish as the best hotel in their
chain, with a busy year in 2014.
Grapevine’s hotel room count was further
increased by completion of a 301 unit Marriott
product on the Silverlake Additon at the
intersection of State Hwy. 26 and Bass Pro
Dr. This hotel combines the flags of Marriott
Courtyard and TownPlace Suites.
The occupancy rate for all hotels surveyed by
Smith Travel Research in 2014 stayed near the
2013 levels of 73%. The average daily room
rate increased to $147 in 2014 from the average
of $141 in 2013.
Restaurant & Retail
The restaurant industry continued to rebound
due to the completion of major highway
construction on State Hwy. 114. John Evans
completed the Towers of Grapevine retail and
restaurant complex at William D. Tate and
State Hwy. 114 in 2014. The Towers includes
an 11,600 sq. ft. Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen,
In-N-Out Burger restaurant, two restaurant
pad sites, as well as a 13,000 sq. ft. retail
building containing AT&T mobile, Grimaldi’s
Pizza and Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches.
A new retail shopping center named The
Gallery began construction at the southeast
corner of Main St. and E. Northwest Hwy. This
40,000 sq. ft. building is leasing, with retail on
the first floor and office on the second floor.
Cotton Patch Cafe has been approved on the
first floor. This historic replica building is
planned for completion in February 2015.
Three new wineries have been approved on
Main St., and all three will be in operation
by 2015. Sloan & Williams Winery began
operation in 2014 and is located at 112 E. Texas
St. Messina Hof Winery opened in late 2014
at the northeast corner of Main St. and Texas
St. in the historic Wallis Hotel. Umbra Winery
opened at 415 S. Main St. and will feature Texas
wines, as well as a tasting room.
Gary Humble has moved forward with his plans
to bring craft brewing to Grapevine. Humble
currently provides craft label beers in the
Metroplex but will finish the construction of
his headquarters for Grapevine Craft Brewery
at Jean St. and Dallas Rd. in 2015. His plans
include a 10,000 sq. ft. brewing and tasting area,
along with an outdoor beer garden and patio.
City Property Purchase
In 2014, the City of Grapevine purchased
the largest remaining contiguous commercial
site in Grapevine, consisting of 185 acres
at the northeast corner of Grapevine Mills
Blvd. and F.M. 2499. It languished during the
recession and the City of Grapevine purchased
it to return it to private development. This
property is well situated for future commercial
development or mixed-use. The City engaged
the consultants HR&A to begin the process of
determining the market feasibility and proper
land uses for the site. The company’s study will
continue into the first quarter of 2015, and the
City plans to sell the property back for private
development.
In summary, Grapevine continued to move forward
with a successful year in 2014 with a number of major
projects finished, under development or on the drawing
boards, and a successful 2015 is anticipated!
