About Fruitvale
City in Texas, United States
Fruitvale is a small city in Van Zandt County, Texas, United States. The population was 408 at the 2010 census, and 476 as of 2020. The town draws its name from its location in the center of the historic fruit-growing district of the Sabine River valley in northeastern Van Zandt County. Its name was originally Bolen Switch, but it was changed around 1901 after a petition of local fruit growers, and a post office was established in 1903. On April 29, 2017, an EF-3 tornado struck the town at EF-2 intensity, causing major damage and several injuries. Fruitvale Independent School District serves the town for head start to 12th grade.
