| City of Euless |
Before it was a town, the area near Euless was
on the edge of Bird's Fort in 1841. The community actually began in about 1845,
when Isham Crowley and a small party of pioneers reached the convergence of Big
Bear and Little Bear creeks. There, on what is now the DFW airport grounds, a
post office was founded in 1857, named Estill's Station. Nearby were a school,
a church, a store, and a cotton gin. The post office closed in 1868 then
reopened in 1881–1904, under the name Estelle. Most of the community gradually wandered
away, moving to the present Euless and Irving.
