Bransford was a small place in Tarrant County, Texas. It was once an "unincorporated community." This means it was a settlement without its own local government, unlike a city or town. Today, Bransford is known by a different name: Colleyville.
What Was Bransford?
Bransford was located in the U.S. state of Texas. It was a community that grew without a formal city government. People lived and worked there, but it didn't have a mayor or city council. Instead, it was part of the larger Tarrant County.
How Bransford Became Colleyville
The community of Bransford was renamed Colleyville. This happened because of a doctor named Lilburn Howard Colley. He moved to the area in 1880. People decided to honor him by naming the community after him. This is how Bransford became the town we know today as Colleyville.
