Grapevine is a city and  suburb  in the  Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex  located in the  U.S. state  of  Texas . The city is almost entirely located in northeast  Tarrant County , with small portions extending into neighboring  Dallas  and  Denton  counties. [3]  As of the  2010 census  the city population was 46,334. The city’s moniker is derived from the native grapes prevalent in the area. [4] In recent years several  wineries  have opened in Grapevine, and the city has been very active in maintaining its  historic downtown corridor . The city is adjacent to  Grapevine Lake , a large reservoir impounded by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1952 and serves as both a source of water and recreational area. Part of  Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport  is located within Grapevine city limits, the largest portion of any municipality bordering the facility. In 2007  CNNMoney.com rated Grapevine as one of “America’s Best Places to Live”.
