Texans are proud of their heritage and the citizens of Euless are especially proud of their founding fathers. In 1867, Elisha Adam Euless moved from Tennessee to Texas and purchased 170 acres on the present intersection of North Main Street and West Euless Boulevard. He had a cotton gin and a community center located on his property and became a very prominent figure among other settlers. The community eventually grew around his land and settlers decided to name the city, Euless, after this successful farmer and businessman.
Euless has since grown from a population of 25 in 1915 to a population of 45,500 in 2000. As Euless continues to grow, City officials have strived to preserve its historical significance by restoring the Fuller House, the first brick house in Euless as a museum, obtaining a historical marker for Elisha Adam Euless from the Texas State Historical Commission and restoring the Himes Log Cabin, which dates from the 1850's.
