Flower Mound City Guide

History

In 1854, Flower Mound Presbyterian Church was founded by the Reverend Matthew B. Donald. During the 1860’s, The Chisholm Trail crossed through Flower Mound along the I-35W corridor. The Town of Flower Mound incorporated to avoid being annexed by the City of Irving. The Town of Flower Mound derived its name from a prominent 12.5-acre mound – once covered with bluestem grasses and a variety of indigenous flowers – that rises 650 feet above sea level and stands 50 feet above the surrounding countryside.
