The "Back Door"
Originating in Dallas, the Eagle Ford Trail crossed the West Fork of the Trinity River into Irving at a river ford near today's Singleton Boulevard and Loop 12. In the 1800's, Eagle Ford received its name from an eagle's nest found at that location. Later becoming Eagle Ford Road, with the completion of the West Dallas Viaduct (currently day Continental Street viaduct), this former trail into Irving would become a well-known escape route for criminals and gangsters fleeing Dallas law enforcement during the Great Depression. The road become known to hoodlums as the "back door." An original bridge piling at the river crossing can still be seen at the ford. Most notorious of the gangsters and criminals who used the "back door" was the Barrow Gang headed by Clyde Barrow and his lover, Bonnie Parker.
