When settlers discovered this area of Blackland Prairie in the 1840s, 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 D/FW International Airport, the community is situated north of Dallas and Fort Worth. Since 1987, Flower Mounds population has increased to over 57,000, 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, such 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 and Lake Lewisville to the north. The US 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 trails for walking, jogging and cycling.

The Lewisville ISD serves the majority of students and provides such activities as Adopt-a-School program, which allows local businesses, organizations or individuals the opportunity to support a school by providing special services or materials.
