Colleyville has been historically a rural area situated between Big Bear and Little Bear Creeks in northeastern Tarrant County. The first significant settlement of the area began in the 1850's. Samuel C.H. Witten came to Texas from Missouri in 1854 and established a farm along Little Bear Creek. He become one of the founders of the Spring Garden community which flourished in the 1860's around a well-known school which declined in the 1870's as Bedford rose to prominence. Other settlers from the upper South included Johathan A. Riley, who came from Kentucky in 1856 and settled near the Spring Garden community, the Kentucky-born adventurer and Civil War veteran Ryan Harrington, who bought land in 1865 near the community of Pleasant Glade and William B Cheek, who migrated to northeast Tarrant County from Kentucky in 1869 eventually settling near Ryan Harrington's property. Other farmers continued to arrive throughout the 19th-century. William Dunn settled property between Big Bear Creek and Bransford in 1875. The James R. Forbes family of Bedford County, Tennessee established a farm in 1887 and French native Anthelm Bidault began cultivating his renowned orchards and vineyards near the Pleasant Run community in 1897. The communities of Pleasant Glade and Pleasant Run were hamlets situated in clearings of the Eastern Cross Timbers. Churches, schools, and stores served the rural population. Pleasant Run Baptist Church, organized in 1877, was the first church within what is now Colleyville.
