The Story of Euless
Euless sits on land settled almost as early as Tarrant County itself. Bird's Fort stood just south of today's city in 1841, and pioneers led by Isham Crowley reached the meeting of Big and Little Bear creeks by 1845; a post office called Estill's Station opened in 1857.
The town takes its name from Elisha Adam Euless, a popular Tennessee native who arrived in 1867 and built a home and cotton gin near present-day Main Street in 1879. Farmers credited his gin with helping end the area's hard times and named the community for him; the post office opened in 1886.
Euless later served as county sheriff, winning landslide elections in 1892 and 1894 before his death in 1911.
Today Euless is the E of the Hurst–Euless–Bedford Mid-Cities — a diverse suburb beside DFW Airport known for its large Tongan community.

History
Founded 1953
From Elisha Adam Euless's homestead to a DFW Airport gateway
Euless was named for Elisha Adam Euless, a Tennessee-born farmer who purchased a 175-acre tract along present-day Euless-Grapevine Road in the 1880s and donated land for a community gin, school, and church around which the settlement grew. The community remained a small rural crossroads through World War II, with the 1950 census recording fewer than 200 residents. Euless incorporated on July 7, 1953, just months before neighboring North Richland Hills, as part of the same wave of postwar incorporations in northeast Tarrant County. The 1974 opening of Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport on the city's eastern edge transformed Euless, drawing airline employees and supporting commerce; population leapt from roughly 4,800 in 1960 past 24,000 by 1980 and past 46,000 by 2000. Trinity High School's football and Polynesian-American cultural identity became one of the city's most visible features in the 21st century. Sources: TSHA; City of Euless; Wikipedia.
