Our retro artwork prints with rich detail on the smooth, cotton-rich surface, and ribbed-knit cuffs and collar, reinforced side seams, and twill neck tape keep the shape crisp wash after wash. A tear-away label means no scratchy tag. Machine washable and ethically printed on demand.

Alexander McRae Dechman founded Dechman in 1863 on Peters’ Colony land, and in 1877 the Texas & Pacific Railroad renamed it Grand Prairie for its place on the eastern edge of the tallgrass prairie that runs into West Texas. The city incorporated in 1909 and Hensley Field opened in 1928.

From 1941 the North American Aviation plant turned out P-51 Mustangs and B-24 Liberators, and Vought built Crusaders and Corsairs here after the war. One of the longest cities in Texas, it stretches between Mountain Creek Lake and Joe Pool Lake between Dallas and Fort Worth. The prairie horizon is the mark on this piece.

All Grand Prairie Texas Items

Today Grand Prairie stretches long and narrow across Dallas and Tarrant counties, from Mountain Creek Lake down toward Joe Pool, a Metroplex city that kept its prairie name. The runway is still there, now the Armed Forces Reserve Complex; the racing is still there; the grass is still the thing underneath all of it. Wild horses, fighter planes, and a grandstand — same ground, three centuries. Wear the history, and carry a little of it home.

What’s with the Mustangs of Grand Prairie? Wild Spanish horses ranged this grassland into the 1850s, and ninety years later a plant on the same prairie built 4,790 Mustang fighters. The answer is two answers, and the second one borrowed its name from the first. Wild horses ran the North Texas prairies here into the 1850s, plentiful enough that the settlers who arrived didn’t bother inventing names for the creeks — they called one spring-fed branch Mustang Branch because Spanish horses ranged along it, and there is still a Mustang Creek running northeast into Tarrant County. Ninety years later, on that same grassland, a factory was turning out fighter planes called Mustangs at better than one aircraft an hour. Two kinds of Mustang, one prairie, and a word that crossed an ocean twice to get here.

Why People Visit Grand Prairie, Texas

People come for the central Metroplex location and the mix of prairie, lakes, and live racing — and stay curious about an aviation heritage most visitors never expect from a city between Dallas and Fort Worth. It is flat, friendly, and in the middle of everything, with a long horizon and a longer memory than its suburbs suggest.
