The city was founded May 22, 1873 by A.R. Alcott, a Texas & Pacific Railway engineer who purchased land along the Texas & Pacific line outside of Dallas. The railroad, which ran from Dallas to Shreveport, began stopping at the newly-created town shortly thereafter, and the city began to grow around the railroad. The city was officially incorporated on December 3, 1887.
Mesquite prospered through the late 19th century and early 20th century as a farming community growing cotton, hay, corn and sugar and using the railroad to ship raw goods. The town remained predominantly agrarian until after World War II when the suburban boom also took root in Mesquite.
In 1958, the Mesquite Championship Rodeo was established, and in 1959, Big Town Mall opened as the first enclosed shopping mall in the Southwest. The mall was demolished in the summer of 2006.
By 1970, LBJ Freeway was constructed, connecting Mesquite to its neighbors, Garland to the north and Balch Springs to the south. Also in 1971, Town East Mall was constructed. The mall was used by director Ron Howard to film portions of the movie "Cotton Candy" in 1978. The mall's associated traffic and shops would continue to grow the town.
Mesquite is home to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo and is known as the "Rodeo Capital of Texas." The city has also been home to the video game producer id Software, creators of Doom and Quake, along with a repair center for Microsoft products (Zune, Xbox 360, etc) and a UPS package distribution center.

Dallas
is the third largest city in the USA state of Texas and the ninth-largest in the
United States. Founded in 1841 and formally incorporated as a city on February
1856, the city's economy is primarily based on banking, commerce, telecommunications,
computer technology, energy, and transportation. Dallas is the core of the largest
inland metropolitan area in the United States that lacks any navigable link to
the sea. The city's prominence despite this comes from its historical importance
as a center for the oil and cotton industries, its position along numerous railroad
lines, its status as a major inland port, and a strong industrial and financial
sector. Before Texas was claimed in the 16th century as a part of the Viceroyalty
of New Spain by the Spanish Empire, the Dallas area was inhabited by the Caddo
Native Americans. Later, France also claimed the area, but in 1819 the Adams-Onís
Treaty made the Red River the northern boundary of New Spain, officially placing
Dallas well within Spanish territory. The area remained under Spanish rule until
1821, when Mexico declared independence from Spain and the area became part of
the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. In 1836, the Republic of Texas broke off
from Mexico to become an independent nation. In 1839, four years into the Republic's
existence, Warren Angus Ferris surveyed the area around present-day Dallas. Two
years later, John Neely Bryan established a permanent settlement that later became
the city of Dallas.
