Established 1902 by J.O. Schulze and Otis Brown as rail link between Dallas and Fort Worth. Both men dreamed of founding a town that would prosper alongside one of the rail lines they helped construct, so they purchased 80 acres at site. Town was founded in 1903 and incorporated in 1914, and local historians believe city was named after Mrs. Brown's favorite author Washington Irving. The thriving commercial, industrial, and residential city borders on western edge of Dallas and the eastern boundary of D/FW International Airport, and it boasts a population of 200,000. Home of North Lake College and the Univ. of Dallas.
