The History of Flower Mound

In spite of its early history, Flower Mound did not incorporate until 1961.

This led to a period of unprecedented growth when the population nearly quadrupled in size. During the 1990s, it grew by around 13% every year. Today, it continues to grow as more people are draw to the suburban lifestyle and convenient transportation options.
