Birdville was a former community in Tarrant County, Texas, United States which was founded circa 1840.
A team of Texas Rangers led by Jonathan Bird were dispatched by Sam Houston to establish a fort to defend local settlers from attack by natives and bandits.
In 1849, after the establishment of Camp Worth, new settlements began arising in the area, including Birdville, which had a population of around fifty by 1849, when Tarrant County was established.
In August of the following year, Birdville was selected as the county seat, a title which it lost to Fort Worth in November 1856.
The former area of Birdville was subsequently annexed by Haltom City in the latter part of the 20th century.
