About Crowley Texas

Back in 1848, pioneers began farming the area around Deer Creek in Tarrant County, Texas.  A few years later, when the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad laid track down, the settlement moved slightly westward to what is now present day downtown Crowley.  The first station depot was built in 1885, officially establishing the community as a town and was named Crowley for the master of transportation for the railroad.  It was incorporated as a town in 1951, and received its official designation as a city in 1972.

Located just fifteen minutes south of downtown Fort Worth, Crowley, TX is a vibrant community and is as well-known for both its quiet neighborhoods and its bustling business districts.  One of the reasons that Crowley is so attractive for business is that it’s situated conveniently between I-35 and the new Southwest Parkway.

The Crowley Environment

In its desire to serve the community, the Crowley Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for acquiring and developing all parks, playground equipment, athletic fields and recreation facilities to meet the needs of the community.  Some of the recreation facilities available in Crowley include the Crowley community center and the senior citizen’s center.

The Crowley Parks and Recreation Department also oversees community activities  such as the annual Easter Egg Hunt, the Celebration of Freedom, Haunted Hayride, and the Christmas Parade.  They operate the Bicentennial Park which features a water park, two pavilions and playgrounds, ball fields, a walking track.  They also operate Teeter Park which offers more ball fields and a playground.

In addition to providing excellent neighborhood amenities, the city also has an excellent school district.  The area’s first school, called Red Oak Academy, was established in the early 1800s, but records from later in the century mention Deer Creek School.  The Crowley Independent School District (CISD) was established in 1905.  In 2009, CISD had 1 National Merit Finalist and 8 Commended Seniors in the National Merit Scholarship Program.
