A Texas land grant led to the formation of Denton County in 1846, and the city incorporated in 1866. Both City and County were named after pioneer and Texas militia captain, John B. Denton. The arrival of a railroad line in the city in 1881 spurred the population. The establishment of the University of North Texas in 1890 and Texas Woman’s University in 1901 distinguished the city from neighboring regions. In addition,, due to the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, finished in 1974, the city saw more rapid growth. As of 2011, this city was the seventh-fastest growing city with a population over 100,000 in the country.
