Irving, Texas
The City of Irving is located on State Highways 183 and 114 in western Dallas County (32.81351° N, -96.9555° E).
This area of western Dallas County, about 12 miles west of the city of Dallas, saw farming communities begin to grow during the 1850s. Among these communities, spread throughout the area between the Elm and the West Forks of the Trinity River, were Kit, Sowers, Twin Wells, Union Bower, Bear Creek and Estelle, all of which would one day be annexed by the city of Irving.
