A Little About Kennedale
Native American artifacts, which date back 15 centuries or more, have been found in and around the present site of Kennedale. Indications are that this was a popular hunting and fishing area for small groups until permanent settlements were established along bluffs overlooking tributaries of the Trinity River. The land was attractive with rolling hills dotted with large post oak and other trees. Sixteenth century Spanish explorers found the native villages to be a good source of corn that was not generally grown west of this area. Because of the profusion of villages of the Caddo Tribe, the local tributary came to be called Caddo Village Creek which has now been shortened to Village Creek.
In the mid 1800's, there were early signs of Kennedale becoming a transportation hub. Many wagon trails crossed at the site in numbers that exceeded the trails through what was to become the City of Arlington. In 1882, John D. Hudson, along with C.B. Teague and O.S. Kennedy, purchased land and established the town of Kennedale at the site of a mineral well. The well formed the focal point for development of a central business district with a train depot, hotel, general merchandise store, drug store, bank post office, lumber company and blacksmith. In 1886, the Fort Worth and New Orleans Railway Company was built through Kennedale to Waxahachie. A brick yard was established in 1888 at the location of the present City Park. Fire raged through the business district in 1908 destroying all but the general store that remains standing today. The business district was never rebuilt and business activity gradually migrated to Mansfield Highway.
Kennedale City Hall
After an election with 42 voters in July 1947, the Town of Kennedale was incorporated with a population of 300. By 1950, the population had increased to 500 and a petition to the State was approved changing the status of Kennedale from a "Town" to a "City".
