About White Rock East Dallas-Baylor, Texas |

As we start the new millennium, Mesquite is a city of 126,570, full of business, industry and a continuing influx of new residents who come here looking for a place with all the amenities without the hustle of a bigger city. But for all its growth in the past few decades - the population was only 27,345, according to the 1960 Census, up considerably from the 1,696 residents recorded in 1950 - Mesquite has rich history, as solid as the tree for which it is named. On May 22, 1873, the first plat of the townsite of Mesquite was recorded at the Dallas County Courthouse by A.R. Alcott, a Texas & Pacific Railroad Company engineer and planner of depot towns. The railroad company bought a square mile of land, built a depot, and offered business property and residential lots for sale. Six weeks later, on July 1, the Texas & Pacific train steamed from Shreveport through Mesquite to Dallas, marking the beginning of a new era. Mesquite did not incorporate until December 3, 1887. It was the second town outside of Dallas in Dallas County to do so. In 1890, Mesquite served an ever-expanding farming community. Neatly plotted, prosperous farms with cotton, hay, corn, sugar cane, cattle and horses were scattered around the town. For many years cotton was king. Then hay became the moneymaking crop of local farmers, from 1900 to 1920. While the town was intent on its busy day-to-day life and activities, the outlaw Sam Bass and his gang held up the Texas & Pacific Railroad in 1878. A marker on the town square remembers the burglary of $160 dollars and registered mail. In 1890, the population of Mesquite was 135. Only one poorly constructed road connected area farmers with Dallas, so people depended on Mesquite to serve their needs. The growth of Mesquite can be divided into two eras. It was a quiet agricultural town from 1873 to the late 1950s. The number of residents increased by 1,561from 1890 to 1950. The post-World War II building boom brought phenomenal growth that increased the population. New subdivisions inched their way north. Big Town Mall was constructed in 1959 and was the first enclosed mall in the Southwest. The first public library was built in 1964, and city services were expanded to meet the needs of a growing population. In 1970, LBJ Freeway connected Mesquite to its neighboring communities. The expressway, as well as Town East Mall, brought increased economic growth to the city. |
