The sign is in Liberty Park at the corner of S Main and E Wall Streets, near the historic Torian Log Cabin, and it reads:
Grapevine, Texas
This area was the site of the first government in Grapevine, Texas. On this land stood a store first owned and operated by Archibald Franklin Leonard. In his store, Leonard, Henry Suggs, James Tracy Moorehead and others, in the year 1854, planned the city, created its name and decided on some of the beginning rules of city government. From these early lawmakers' endeavors would evolve a thriving city which would be incorporated on the 10th day of January, 1907.
Placed by Mrs. J. Doclar and her fifth grade classes of Timberline School, 1987, in honor of the 200th birthday of our great Constitution of the United States of America.
