Prior to the arrival of Anglo settlers, for some 11,000 years, large herds of buffalo and, more recently, members of the Wichita Caddo, Comanche and Lipan Apache Indian tribes roamed the Benbrook area. The area was later settled in the 1850s by W.S. Peters, who was granted a contract to attract 250 families per year by offering 320-acres free to family men and 160-acres to singles.
