History of Flower Mound -

The town area remained sparsely populated for many decades after this initial settlement. Not until 1961 was the town Incorporated to avoid annexation by the city of Irving. The towns second mayor, William Wilkerson, super-charged the incorporation effort, which inturn improved the water supply and phone service of the town.

In 1999, the town adopted the SMART growth "Strategically Managed And Responsible Town Growth" management plan, a smart growth initiative to manage both the rate and character of development in the community, however, Flower Mound's population continues to rise. The town also encourages conservation development projects to protect and preserve existing open space, vistas and natural habitats while allowing for controlled growth. The goal is environmentally sensitive urban development and mitigation of the ill-effects of urban sprawl.
