Bartonville is a town in Denton County, Texas, United States. Bartonville was originally part of the Chinn's Chapel Settlement, established in 1853 by Elisha Chinn. Chinn's Chapel eventually became three small communities with Bartonville being the lone remaining town. Bartonville was settled in 1878 and was named for T. Bent Barton. In 1886 a local post office was established. In 1890 Bartonville had twenty-five residents, a general store, a gristmill, and a cotton gin, all owned by the Barton family. By 1896 Bartonville's population was estimated to be 100 and the town had three general stores. The post office was discontinued in 1906. By 1933, Bartonville had a population of 300 and one business establishment. In 1960, with cities such as Irving looking to expand northward, local residents feared annexation and Bartonville incorporated for the first time. The town then included Double Oak and Copper Canyon, as well as the present-day Bartonville. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
