With a convenient location in north-central Texas, the City of Mesquite is only twelve miles east of Dallas. Bordered on the south by Balch Springs and on the north by Garland, Mesquite hosts the Mesquite Championship Rodeo and is known as the “Rodeo Capital of Texas.” Additionally, Mesquite sits near the intersection of Interstate 635 and Interstate 30 along U.S. Route 80. Incorporated in 1887, the community has roots dating back to 1873. In its early years cotton was Mesquite’s primary industry and the community thrived and grew steadily, though slowly until 1950. Between 1950 and 1970 the population exploded, leaping from two thousand citizens to over fifty-thousand residents. A great deal of its growth was the result of the urban sprawl of Dallas. Today the city’s culture and heritage are preserved by the Mesquite Historical Commission which was formed in the 1980s. The Commission is now known as Historic Mesquite, Inc. and continues to be active on projects throughout Mesquite.
Beyond its convenient location and well-preserved heritage and history, Mesquite also has a multitude of fantastic options for recreation, entertainment, shopping, and dining. In addition to the aforementioned rodeo, Mesquite also encompasses the Mesquite Community Band, the Mesquite Symphony Orchestra, the Mesquite Community Theater, a large art gallery, and over sixteen arts groups. Other attractions in Mesquite include Rodeo City Music Hall, Devil’s Bowl Speedway, and several points of historical interest such as the late-1800s Florence Ranch Homestead and the Texas Queen double-deck paddle wheeler. Moreover, Mesquite has convenient proximity to Dallas Fort Worth and all of the metro’s incredible services, amenities, and attractions, which include Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, Six Flags Over Texas, West End Marketplace, and the Dallas World Aquarium and Rainforest.
