Colleyville

Colleyville is a residential city in northeastern Tarrant County that combines neighborhoods and commercial areas in a suburban setting. The city occupies a moderate area and functions as an affluent suburb within the Dallas-Fort Worth region.

The settlement was founded in 1880 when Dr. Lilburn Howard Colley, a physician and veteran, established himself in the area and gave it his name. This marked the beginning of permanent settlement that would eventually grow into a suburban city.

The city is home to several parks where residents gather year-round to spend time outdoors and connect with neighbors. These green spaces form the social heart of the community and shape daily life here.

The city connects to major highways through State Highway 121 and State Highway 26, offering convenient access to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The flat terrain and well-organized roads make navigation straightforward for visitors.

The Cotton Belt Trail network runs through the city, creating continuous paths for cyclists and pedestrians. This trail system connects different parts of the community and invites leisurely exploration of the suburban landscape.
