HCP #082 - A History of La Réunion: A French Dream on the Banks of the Trinity River

Before Reunion Tower and the Dallas skyline, there was La Réunion, a French utopian colony on the banks of the Trinity River. In this episode, Grant and Doug explore how a group of European settlers came to North Texas hoping to build a new kind of society, why the experiment failed, and how its residents helped shape early Dallas through culture, business, science, and civic life. It's the story behind one of Dallas' most recognizable names and a forgotten chapter of Oak Cliff history.
