Mesquite, TX Real Estate

Mesquite is a suburb of Dallas located in Dallas County and Kaufman County, Texas ( USA ). The city had a total population of 124,523 in the 2000 census which increased to 129,902 in the 2005 census estimate. Mesquite is home to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo and is known as the "Rodeo Capital of Texas." The city is also home to computer video game producer id Software, creators of Doom and Quake. In 2001, the Mesquite Skeeters high school football team won the 5A Division I State Championship.

The city was created on May 22, 1873 by A.R. Alcott, a Texas & Pacific Railway engineer, who purchased land along the Texas & Pacific line outside of Dallas. The railroad, which ran from Dallas to Shreveport, began stopping at the newly-created town shortly thereafter and the city began to grow around the railroad. The city was officially incorporated on December 3, 1887.

Mesquite prospered in the late 19th to the early 20th century and became a growing farming community, growing cotton, hay, corn and sugar and using the railroad line to ship the raw goods. The town remained predominantly agrarian until after World War II, when the boom in suburbs also took root in Mesquite as new subdivisions were created. The population exploded, growing from 1,696 in the 1950 census to 27,526 in 1960 and 55,131 in 1970.
