In 1843, Sam Houston met with ten native tribes along Grapevine Springs Creek to negotiate an accord to end fighting and allow trade and settlement in the area. When Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport opened in 1974, Coppell transformed from a farming hamlet into a thriving town with expanding economic opportunity. Through firsthand accounts with longtime residents and meticulous research, authors Jean Murph and Lou Duggan unfold the contemplative story of a complex and historic community."-- Back cover.Brief history.Manners and customsfast(OCoLC)fst01007815Coppell (Tex.)Social life and customsCoppell (Tex.)History20th centuryDallas County (Tex.)HistoryTexasCoppellfastTexasDallas CountyfastElectronic books.Manners and customs.976.42811Murph Jean1244763Duggan LouMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910157377103321Coppell, Texas2887363UNINA
