Bartonville, Texas

Bartonville is a town in Denton County, Texas, United States.

Chinn's Chapel eventually became three small communities, with Bartonville being the lone remaining town.

In 1886 a local post office was established, and by 1890 Bartonville had 25 residents, a general store, a gristmill, and a cotton gin, all owned by the Barton family.

Slow growth continued, and by 1930 Bartonville had a population of 300 and a business establishment.

In 1960, with cities such as Irving looking to expand northward, local residents feared annexation and Bartonville incorporated for the first time.

The town then included Double Oak and Copper Canyon, as well as present-day Bartonville.

Once the fear of annexation subsided a few years later, Bartonville citizens voted for disincorporation.
