Primrose is an unincorporated community in Tarrant County, Texas, United States.[1]

History

Primrose is located directly east of Benbrook Lake, ten miles south-west of Fort Worth and was originally a community of farmers and ranchers.[2] In the 1870s the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway arrived and in 1990 Primrose appeared as a stop on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.[3]

The community remains semi-rural, located on the southern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.[4]
