To understand the history of the settlement of any area of Texas, one needs a brief introduction into the history of Texas, which is replete with adventure and heroic action.  “The reader meets with self-denying priests and mailed-fisted conquerors of Spain, with filibuster and ‘empresarios’ from beyond the Mississippi, with frontiersmen from Tennessee and planters from Alabama.  The Anglo-Americans vied with the Mexicans for supremacy until 1848 and took the country from the Indians by 1875.  Thereafter came the struggle for law and order, the lusty cattle industry, the surge of land-hungry farmers seeking virgin soul, the rapid approach of the railroads, and the discovery of oil fields.  In recent time the challenge of space travel and the explosive growth of urban Texas have continued the tradition of adventure and progress.” 

“The name Texas come from ‘Tejas’, meaning ‘friends or allies,’ a word applied by Spanish explorers and missionaries to and Indian confederacy, the Hasinai, that they found in this country.  With its 267,339 square miles of territory, extending from the High Plains of the Panhandle to the Gulf of Mexico, Texas is, except for Alaska, by far the largest state in the Union.  One can travel 800 miles in a straight line within its borders; Texarkana, on the Arkansas border, is closer to Chicago that it is to El Paso, on the Rio Grande River.  The Central Texas Prairies extend from the Colorado River in the vicinity of Austin northward to the Red River; the same type of terrain continues on into Oklahoma.  The prairie is broken by the Eastern Cross Timbers, (where Argyle is located) a thin wedge of trees extending northward from the vicinity of Waco through the Dallas country to the Red River valley.  East of this narrow belt of timber is the Blackland Prairie, and to the west lies the Grand Prairie.  Rich, black soils predominate, now largely cultivated except where too thin producing grain and cotton and supporting livestock.  Dallas, Fort Worth, and the ten or so lesser cities lie within this region, and Austin and San Antonio share its trade and draw on its resources.  The Cross Timbers, lying between Fort Worth and Abilene and extending from the vicinity of the Colorado River to the Red River and beyond, is a farming and stock raising country, producing peanuts, vegetables, dairy products, and poultry.  Its soils range from belts of loose, blowing sand to black clays.”  For the rest of the story click here.

Selling Real Estate and Home in Roanoke -- A Prange Team Specialty

The history of Roanoke, Texas goes back to the year of 1847, when a small group of twenty settlers and their families settled near Denton Creek, north of the present location of Roanoke.  First called the Medlin Settlement in honor of Louis and Charles Medlin whose families were in the colony.  The early community was later designated  Garden Valley.

Laid out in one-half acre tracts, the early settlement had stores and a blacksmith shop.  Frequent floods of Denton Creek, which often reached the roof tops of the houses, endangered the lives of both the settlers and their livestock.  About 1879 the settlement was moved closer to the present site of Roanoke.  In 1881 and 1882 most of the settlers began moving to a new town sight, which was being laid out by the railroad.  One of the railroad surveyors named the town Roanoke in memory of his home town in Virginia.  For the rest of the story click here.

Clayton & Shelly...Debbie Prange was absolutely fantastic and we will recommend her to any of our friends buying or selling a home.  She is an amazingly hard worker and always follows through in a timely manner with strict attention to details.  We had two days to find a home and she selected over 25 homes which all met our criteria.  Then she handled the inspection and coordinated our mortgage and insurance needs.  She was great!”
