Colleyville Homes for Sale

The suburban city of Colleyville got its start sometime in the 1850s when Samuel C.H. Witten moved to Texas from Missouri. Witten would eventually build a farm along the banks of Little Bear Creek and was involved in founding the Spring Garden community. Over the next 40 years, small communities started forming around a small town called Bransford, which had a post office, a livery stable, blacksmith shops, and four general stores. Additionally, what made the Bransford area of importance were the four doctors who stayed in the small town. One of these doctors would rise to prominence as being one of the top physicians in Tarrant County - his name was Lilburn Howard Colley. Over time, Colley's name became associated with the general area that is now Colleyville. In January of 1956, Colleyville was finally incorporated. Today, the small, quaint suburban city of Colleyville is still considered to be a rural town but has seen some significant residential development in the last decade.
