FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS

Flower Mound, south of Denton and northwest of Dallas in south central Denton County, is a residential suburban community of 20,000 acres on the shore of Grapevine Lake. It was established soon after Sam Houston settled a tribal dispute in 1844 and Indian raids in the area creased. Permanent settlers moved in, attracted by the quality of the soil, which was suitable for raising cotton, corn and wheat. The Peters Colony named the town for a fifty foot high mound covered with Indian Paintbrush. The mound was once used by Indians as a holy place. Unlike many pioneer settlements in Denton County that were bypassed by the railroads in the late nineteenth century or unable to survive the Great Depression, Flower Mound maintained a steady population throughout the first four decades of the twentieth century and became a substantial farming and cattle raising community. In the mid 1950's the town began to grow. The lake stimulated the economy of the community and attracted workers who preferred to live outside the central Dallas area.

Flower Mound, Texas is a family-friendly community with an exceptional quality of life, while also maintaining one of the lowest tax rates in the Metroplex. Money magazine recently rated the town as the best place to live in Texas and the second best in the entire western United States in our population category.
