Fact text
- Grand Prairie got its name by accident, the post office misread the handwriting on a form and accidentally coined a new name, 'Deckman,' before the railroad's 'Grand Prairie' label finally won out.
- American Airlines once called Grand Prairie home, parking its headquarters here after fleeing New York City in 1978 before eventually settling in Fort Worth in 1983.
- Airbus Helicopters chose Grand Prairie as its U.S. headquarters, meaning a Texas city is technically home to a major piece of a European aerospace giant.
- Lone Star Park hosts a Memorial Day Thoroughbred meet every year, with seven stakes races and over $1 million on the line, not bad for the mid-cities suburbs.
- Grand Prairie's GPX Skate Park briefly made the city a destination for extreme sports, hosting X Games trials in both 2001 and 2002.
