History and Government, Settlement and Growth of Hurst, Texas

Settlement of Northeast Tarrant County began in 1850 when Isaac Parker built his log cabin home in what is now southwestern Hurst.  After the Civil War, more settlers moved into the area and with them came the need for schools and churches.  Daniel Arwine responded to this need by deeding six acres of land for the construction of a new school, church, and cemetery.  All of the original development was located in what is now Hurst’s Bellaire Subdivision. 

In 1870, William L.  Hurst moved into the area with his wife and seven children.  This date is usually cited as the official establishment of Hurst.  They settled approximately one mile north of the present Highway 10 (Hurst Boulevard).  When the railroad came through the settlement in 1903, the local station was named Hurst’s Station.  For rest of story click here.
