Welcome to the small city of Fruitvale, located in Van Zandt County. The name Fruitvale was chosen in 1901 after a petition by local fruit growers. Nestled along U.S. Highway 80 between Edgewood and Grand Saline, Fruitvale offers a peaceful, rural atmosphere just 12.5 acres in size. Experience the charm of life on the outskirts while still being within reach—Dallas, Texas is only about an hour’s drive away, depending on traffic and the time of day.
