Lewisville (/ˈljuː.ɪs.vɪl/) is a city in Denton County in the U.S. state of Texas. The 2010 United States Census placed the population at 95,290 within 35.4 square miles (92 km2). The city also includes 6.07 square miles (15.7 km2) of Lewisville Lake. The origin of the community began in the early 1840s, and the arrival of the town's first railroad in 1881 engendered its initial growth. It incorporated in 1925, making it one of the oldest incorporated cities in the northern area of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The city began to expand rapidly in the early 1950s and today it is a major economic and residential hub of the region.


History

Settlement

In 1841, the Republic of Texas chartered the Peters Colony Land Grant Company (named for William Smalling Peters, publisher of the song "Oh! Susanna"[2]) to settle the North Texas area.[3][4] In 1844, John W. King and his wife, Jane King, settled on the east side of the prairie, where the city currently lies. Other Baptist settlers from Platte County, Missouri, settled on the west side,[5] including John and James Holford, who named the area "Holford's Prarie".[6] Further south, Presbyterians established a church and named it Flower Mound.[7] In the ensuing confusion regarding land ownership after the Hedgcoxe War, Basdeal Lewis purchased Holford's Prarie in 1853 and renamed it after himself.[8]

Few families in the town could afford slaves, but since many of the area's settlers were came from non-slave states, the practice was not as popular in Lewisville as it was elsewhere.[9] In 1845, the Fox family, which owned about a dozen slaves, buried a slave child named Melinda on the family farm, which eventually became the town's cemetery for black residents. Named Fox-Hembry Cemetery, the plot still exists today.[10] Though it sometimes falls into disrepair, local residents and businesses gathered to restore it in 2011.[11] Though Abraham Lincoln was not on the ballot in the area for the 1860 Presidential election, residents of Lewisville (listed as "Hollforts" on election results) still gave John C. Breckinridge only a slim majority of votes (44 to 31) against a fusion option.[12]

During Reconstruction, Lewisville became home to the first cotton gin in Denton County, built in 1867 by T.M. Claytor and George Craft.[13] The mill could produce up to three bales per day.[14] The Thirteenth Texas Legislature chartered the Dallas and Wichita Railroad (later the Missouri-Kansas-Texas) under the terms that 20 miles of track had to be in running order by July 1, 1875. Lewisville paid the company $15,000 to come to the city with a promise of another $5,000 upon completion.[15] The company saved the deal by completing the railroad tracks to just south of Lewisville the morning of the deadline.[16] The line began running full time in 1881.[3] Republicans in the Fourteenth Texas Legislature passed a law on April 30th, 1874 prohibiting alcohol within two miles of the town.[17] The law was extremely unpopular with residents and the city still had as many as 17 saloons at one point.[18] The population of the unincorporated town was 500 in 1888.[19]

Progress

The building currently housing the Greater Lewisville Community Theater, built in 1885, is the oldest standing structure in Lewisville.[20]

From 1920 to 1930, Lewisville's population increased slightly from 815 to 853, making it the fourth most populous town in Denton County (behind Denton, Sanger, and Pilot Point).[21] During this time and the decade after it, residents accomplished a number of important tasks. On January 15, 1925, residents voted to incorporate the area as a city by a margin of 17 votes.[22] The incorporation established the official boundries of the new town.[23]

Because the city had diversified its economy before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, Lewisville was fairly insulated from the Great Depression. Still, Lewisville residents, including business leaders like J.L. Huffines and James Degan, supported Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs.[24][25] By 1936, the Works Progress Administration operated a cannery in the town to provide temporary jobs to the unemployed.[26] As an extension of the Good Roads Movement, which had been prominent in Denton County since the early 1910s,[27] residents formed the Good Roads Committee of Lewisville to lobby state and federal officials for funding to create better streets.[28][29] In 1931, Lewisville celebrated the paving of the highway between Denton and Dallas with a "Coming Out of the Mud" ceremony. The new pavement closed the "Lewisville Gap" between the two cities, a stretch of dirt roads that often became too muddy for travel.[30][31]

The new road also indirectly led to the downfall of the area's public transit system. Between 1925 and 1932, the Texas Interurban Railway, an electric commuter rail service, operated a station in Lewisville. Business leaders in the Lewisville Chamber of Commerce welcomed the service at the time, proudly citing the city's progressive citizenship.[32] The area's low population density could not sustain the venture, however.[33] In 1932, the line went out of business and immediately halted service.[34] On April 25, 1934, Raymond Hamilton of the Barrow gang (minus leaders Bonnie and Clyde) robbed the First National Bank of Lewisville. Residents chased him to Howe, Texas, where he was captured at a roadblock and transferred to Dallas County Jail.[35][36]

Growth

Lewisville's rapid growth began when construction of the Garza-Little Elm Dam finished in 1954. The dam expanded the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir into the what is now Lewisville Lake.[37] The city adopted a home-rule charter for a Council-Manager style of municipal government in 1963, becoming one of only a few home-rule cities in Texas with a population of less than 5,000.[38]

In September 1969, just 13 days after Woodstock, the city hosted the Texas International Pop Festival on Labor Day weekend. The festival drew over 250,000 rock and jazz fans and featured performances by Janis Joplin, B.B. King and Led Zeppelin.[39] In 2011, the Texas Historical Commission dedicated a historical event marker at the Denton County Transportation Authority A-train Hebron station.[40]

When Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport opened to the south of the city in 1974 and Vista Ridge Mall opened at the intersection of Interstate 35E and Round Grove Road in 1987, Lewisville began to experience rapid suburban growth.[41] The city's population increased from 24,273 in 1980 to 46,521 in 1990, making it the 40th most populous state in Texas.[42] In the early 1990s, the Lewisville Chamber of Commerce marketed the city with the slogan "City of Expanding Horizons".[43] The city elected three different female mayors between 1985 and 2000. The population count reached 77,737 in 2000 and 95,290 in 2010.[1]

Arts and Cultural Life

MCL Grand Theater

Main foyer of the Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater, which opened in 2011[47]

The Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater, known primarily as the MCL Grand, is located in the east side of Interstate 35E in Old Town Lewisville. The theater functions as a hub for the arts in Lewisville with its ability to show films, host meetings, and feature other artistic performances in various mediums. The project began in 2004, when community leaders decided to fulfill the long-term goal of building a center for the arts that would coincide with the opening of the new Old Town A-train station in 2011.[48] The city hosted the grand opening of the facility in January 2011 with a series of performances, children’s shows, and ballet recitals.[47] On the final day of the festivities, Neil Ferguson, president of the Greater Lewisville Arts Alliance, presented the theater with a $25,000 contribution from the organization, beginning their fundraiser to place a Steinway & Sons piano in the venue.[48]

Libraries

Front of the Lewisville Public Library building, opened in 2006

The city government began the Lewisville Public Library in 1968 when Cindy Bennett was named its first library director. A 5,000 square-foot structure was built where the current city hall stands. In 1986, the city built a new structure as part of the municipal building on Main Street. In 2001, Lewisville voters approved a 4B tax package, part of which was decided to building a new library facility.[49] The $11 million renovation project was unveiled in 2006,[50]. The children's wing of the new facility was dedicated to Bennett.[51] The library received the Achievement of Excellence in Libraries Award in 2006 and 2009.[52] As of 2011, Lewisville is the official home of the George W. Bush Presidential library.[53]

Media

Residents are generally served by media outlets from the Dallas area, but there are a number of niche publications that cater to the city. The Lewisville Leader, formerly The Lewisville Enterprise and The Lewisville Headlight, has changed hands a number of times. Jack Lewis, the city's second mayor, owned and edited the publication from 1920 to 1945.[54] In 1962, The Enterprise merged with The Leader. The new publisher, U.O. Clements, was a staunch conservative but vociferously supported integration of Lewisville schools, which led to his receiving of many anonymous threats from the Ku Klux Klan.[55] The paper was sold to a corporation in 1971.[56] In 2011, the Lewisville City Council named the Lewisville portion of Neighborsgo, a weekly section of the Dallas Morning News, as the official newspaper of record for the city.[57]

Parks and Recreation

Lewisville Lake Park

Main article: Lewisville Lake
Lewisville Lake Park is a major recreational and economic hub of the area.

Lewisville is bordered to the north by Lewisville Lake, which serves as a major recreation focus of the city. In addition to casual boating and fishing, it hosts regular Bassmaster Tournaments hosted by the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society.[58] The Bassmaster 2011 Central Open event also included the first ever Wounded Warrior Benefit Tournament, an informal competition benefiting the Warrior & Family Support Center at Fort Sam Houston.[58]

Toyota of Lewisville Railroad Park

Using the revenue from a quarter-cent sales tax increase, Lewisville built the $20 million Railroad Park, the largest capital project in the city’s history at the time. In 2010, the city reached a deal worth $1.5 million with Toyota of Lewisville to name the park Toyota of Lewisville Railroad Park. The park is unlike most of its kind in the area. Its amenities include a a baseball/softball complex, a football complex, eight lighted soccer fields, two concession buildings, a perimeter walking/jogging trail, and three man-made lakes. It also includes a six acre section for dogs and their owners as well as the Scion Skate Park.[59] In 2010 and 2011, the skate park hosted the Scion Regional Amateur Tour, a series of six skateboarding competitions held across the country each year.[60]

Golf

Lewisville is a major hub of the Northern Golf Corridor of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and is sometimes referred to as the "golf mecca" of the area.[61] Courses and facilities located in the city include:

  • The Hank Haney Golf Ranch at Vista Ridge, owned and operated by Hank Haney Golf, which also has its headquarters in Lewisville.[62] Haney is the former swing instructor of Tiger Woods.
  • The Lakes at Castle Hills, which opened in 1999. It is home to the Arnold Palmer Golf Academy and was designed by Jay Morrish.[61]
  • Timbercreek Golf Center, owned by former Dallas Cowboys lineman Glen Titensor[63]
  • Lake Park Golf Course.

It is also home to professional golfer Chad Campbell,[64] winner of the 2003 Tour Championship,[65] and Jimmy Johnson, caddie to professional golfers Nick Price, Michelle Wie, Steve Stricker, and Charles Howell III.[66] In February of 2011, Cool Clubs in Lewisville was listed as one of the top 100 clubfitters in the country.[67]

Proposed Trail System

In 2011, the Lewisville Park Board proposed a new trails master plan that included a major overhaul of the trail system for the city, which will include 51 miles of off-street trails, 50 miles of enhanced sidewalks, 50 miles of bike routes, a 7.4 paddling trail down the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, and 31 major and minor trailheads throughout the area, many of which connect to other trail systems. The city currently has a network of linear trails spanning approximately 14 miles.[68] The plan also includes numerous crossings across Interstate I35E in an effort to minimize safety risk for pedestrians.[69]
