The city of Argyle has a history that dates back to the early 1800s. The community of Argyle acquired a post office, school, and Baptist church by 1876. The community was formally founded and named Argyle in 1881, after the Texas and Pacific Railroad built a track through the area. Community members can visit the history of the town inside the historic Meadows Building in the Argyle-Argyll Room. Oral histories and other research gathered by former mayor Yvonne Jenkins and Martha Len Nelson, show that the town's namesake was likely Argyll, Scotland.

The small town of Argyle only had a population of 148 in 1890, and during the Great Depression, population declined to only 90 in 1950. In the 1970s, several retail establishments were built and the population reached 1,575 in 1990. The town of Argyle is still "small" compared to Texas standards, but is expected to continue to grow as part of the general development of northern areas in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
