Grapevine Lake is a reservoir in North Texas about 20 mi (32 km) northwest of Dallas and northeast of Fort Worth. It was impounded in 1952 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when they dammed Denton Creek , a tributary of Trinity River .
The settlement that emerged was named Grape Vine due to its location on the appropriately-named Grape Vine Prairie near Grape Vine Springs, both names in homage to the wild grapes that grew in the area. Grapevine is the oldest settlement in Tarrant County [citation needed], established in 1844, before Texas joined the Union in 1846.
