History of Mansfield, Texas
Founded in 1857 by Ralph S. Man and Julian B. Feild who built North Texas' first steam-powered gristmill on Walnut Creek, Mansfield incorporated in 1890. The railroad arrived in 1885, spurring growth from a frontier town to a thriving community. The Man & Feild gristmill operated for decades and the original Man House (1865) still stands as Mansfield's oldest structure. In 2013, Mansfield earned its "Pickle Capital of Texas" nickname thanks to the Best Maid Pickles facility that has been producing America's favorite pickles here since 1926.
