Mesquite

Mesquite is best known in Texas for the Mesquite Championship Rodeo, founded in 1958 and central to the city’s “Rodeo Capital of Texas” identity. On the eastern side of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, the city lies in the Blackland Prairie, a region of dark, fertile soils that once supported tallgrass prairie. The Trinity River runs west of Mesquite through the wider Dallas area, while Mesquite itself developed as a railroad community and was incorporated in 1887. Its streets now combine established neighborhoods, shopping corridors and close connections with Dallas.
