Centered just north of the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth in northeastern Texas, Grapevine has a small-town feel while being in the middle of one of the United States’ largest metropolitan areas. The area was first settled in 1844 as Grape Vine Prairie and since then it has continued to grow. The area was once covered with wild grapes and the mild climate that supported this wild crop made the settlers turn to agriculture. The city of Grapevine continued to capitalize on their agricultural history until the relatively recent opening of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in the 1970s. Since then, the area has boomed with a variety of industries. Due to its central location yet easy access to the natural wonders of north and east Texas, Grapevine is the ideal place to rent an RV.
