Colleyville Texas Real Estate and City Information:
This material is quoted from the Colleyville Texas Chamber of Commerce Website:
To the average person, Colleyville appears to be no more than thirty years old. In reality, this land
has boasted of families, businesses and community leaders for over 150 years; each generation living,
laughing and loving its atmosphere of beauty and grace. As settlers moved into the Colleyville area in the
mid 1800's, small communities sprang up, usually centered around a church, school or lodge. At one time,
Colleyville was comprised of five separate communities. Although time has obscured many of the names and
words of the original homesteaders, a commemorative marker on the south side of Highway 26 honors them.
"Colleyville" first applied to a small crossroads town on the main road between Fort Worth and Grapevine.
Primarily known as a farming community, the region was recognized for cantaloupes, watermelons, tomatoes
and squash. Incorporated as a village in January 1956, the city began with an area of less than two square
miles and a population of roughly 250. Colleyville celebrates more than 40 years of incorporation with a
population exceeding 19,000 and covering 12 square miles. Roger Judkins is one of the most experienced Colleyville Texas Real Estate Brokers.
