Grand Prairie is a city on the edge. Citizens have been innovators with a love for family and community. Alexander Dechmann traded land to insure a railroad depot; early settlers started schools for their families; and the police department hired one of the first women. Leaders at nonprofits such as Brighter Tomorrows not only helped the local community; but also helped develop services in surrounding communities. Business owners and volunteers have strong family traditions of giving back to Grand Prairie; and civil servants have loyalties for extended years of service; such as Ruthe Jackson and her family; who provided support for both businesses and the community. From the early settlers to today�s city; Grand Prairie is built upon loyalty.
