Tag: Flower Mound
Flower Mound is an incorporated town in Denton and Tarrant counties in the U.S. state of Texas and a suburb of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Its population was 50,702 at the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2000 census, and 64,669 at the 2010 Census. The town derives its name from the prominent 12.5-acre (51,000 m) mound located in the southern portion of the town.
First settled in the 1840s, residents did not incorporate until 1961. The town’s slow growth continued until Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport opened to the south of the city, and since then the population has increased dramatically. Despite the recent growth, Flower Mound refers to itself as the “Town of Flower Mound” with a “Town Hall” and a “Town Council” rather than the customary “city” label. In recent years, with its moderately affluent population and proximity to the metroplex, Flower Mound has experienced more rapid industrial growth to match the growing needs of the primarily residential community.
