the title of the The population of Flower Mound has grown from 15,527 in 1990 to an estimated 61,500 in 2006. Flower Mound’s location, in close proximity to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Alliance Airport at the heart of the “golden triangle,” along with development-ready land, has contributed to this phenomenal growth. Located in southern Denton County, Flower Mound encompasses 44 square miles in the heart of the Metroplex and is approximately 45 percent developed. Flower Mound takes pride in being a leader in managed growth, quality of life, and being environmentally sensitive. History There are almost as many legends, interpretations and stories – often contradictory – concerning The Mound as there are bluebonnets in Texas. The very few unchallenged facts are that The Town of Flower Mound derived its name from it and that it is 650 feet above sea level, and rises 50 feet above the surrounding countryside. Texas’ eminent historian, the late A.C. Greene, believed the name, Flower Mound, was given to the rise in the 1840s because of an unusual amount of wildflowers that grew there. This area was part of the great American Black Land Prairie that ran from Canada to the Rio Grande and from the Rockies to the Mississippi. Because the early pioneer settlers used The Mound as a hay meadow and never plowed, the wildflowers were conspicuously abundant in wet springs. However, wildflowers and native prairie grasses flourish throughout the year on The Mound – The Mound Foundation has identified more than 175 species. Longtime resident, Otto Consolvo, spent most of his waking hours attempting to preserve The Mound from property development. After many frustrating years, he and the Town Council struck a deal with a developer in 1983 to deed the 12.76 acres of The Mound in perpetuity to the Mound Foundation, a non-profit organization representing the citizens of Flower Mound. The Mound Foundation was incorporated in August 1983 and is governed by nine trustees. Its purpose is to keep the original character of the site and to promote and encourage educational, scientific and historical interests, and to maintain and secure “The Mound.” Funds to accomplish this come from donations and from the Town’s Community Support Program. This storied piece of land, located near the intersection of FM 3040 and FM 2499, is now a historical site and a cornerstone of the Town. |
