Irving Homes for Sale

In 1903, two men, J.O. "Otto" Schulze and Otis Brown, founded the city of Irving, Texas. While the area had originally been called Gorbet, legend has it the city was named after literary author Washington Irving, which was Netta Barcus Brown's favorite author. As with most of the areas surrounding Dallas, Irving grew from the cotton trade, with two cotton gins, one church, a blacksmith shop, and a general store making up some of the first structures to have been built on the 68 square mile piece of land. Though population growth started out slow, the city started seeing a population boom in the mid-20th century as manufacturing plants began to supply the city with a steady source of income.
