Irving is a city that is located in Dallas County, Texas with a population of approximately 217,000 resident.  This makes it the 13th most populated city in Texas.   Irving is 67.7 square miles in total area.  

Las Colinas which is one of the first master-planned developments in the United States is situated in Irving.  A portion of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport lies within the city limits and ExxonMobil makes its home in Irving as well.

J.O. "Otto" Schulze and Otis Brown founded Irving in 1903.  Irving has had a few name changes in its history.  In 1889 it was called Gorbit and was then called Kit in 1894.  The city was incorporated in April of 1914 and Otis Brown was the very first mayor.  Growth was slow and sometimes came to an almost complete stop.  In 1925 there were only 357 residents.  However, in the 1930's a significant increase in population began.  By the 1960's the population had grown significantly due in part to manufacturing plants operating in the area and the opening of the University of Dallas.
