 Town of Flower Mound Texas Home Page Town of Flower Mound - NCTCOG Lewisville Independent School District |
When settlers discovered this area of Blackland Prairie in the 1840's, it was filled with blue stem grasses and wildflowers, all of which covered an unusual formation rising up from the prairie flatlands - a 12-1/2 acre mound, 50 feet high. This natural phenomenon inspired the name of Flower Mound. This picturesque, north central town is bordered by pastures of grazing horses near growing modern residential neighborhoods. Rolling hills and heavily wooded land in the western and southern portions of the community complement the distinctive contemporary architecture near the town's center. Because of its close proximity to Fort Worth and Dallas, and its relaxing environment, Flower Mound has become a popular settling down place for many new Texans. Just 10 minutes from DFW airport, the community is situated north of Dallas and Fort Worth. Since 1987, Flower Mound's population has increased to over 33,000 thus becoming the fastest growing city in one of the fastest growing counties in the nation. 
The City's housing boom can be attributed to several factors, sch as comparatively low land prices that offer urban residents a scenic community and less city noise and distractions. While housing construction continues at an impressive pace, the town's master plan is designed to monitor zoning and building densities carefully. Recreationally, Flower Mound offers Lake Grapevine to the south dn Lake Lewisville to the north. The U.S.Dept. Of the Interior presented the city with the "Enjoy the Outdoor America" award for outstanding use of open spaces, linking neighborhoods with parks and tails for walking, jogging and cycling. Lewisville ISD serves the majority of students and provides such activities as the Adopt-a-School program, which allows local businesses, orginizations or individuals the opportunity to support a school by providing special services or materials | |
