There are almost as many legends, interpretations, and stories, often contradictory, concerning "The Mound" (aka Flower Mound) as there are bluebonnets in Texas. The very few unchallenged facts are that The Town of Flower Mound derived its name from the mound that sits 650 feet above sea level. Texas' eminent historian, the late A.C. Greene, believes the name, Flower Mound, was given to the rise in the 1840s because of an unusual amount of wild flowers that grew on it.

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 wild flowers were conspicuously abundant in wet springs. However, over 175 species of wildflowers and native prairie grasses flourish throughout the year on The Mound.

Today, the city of Flower Mound is one of the fastest growing cities in the state. Flower Mound is located between Lake Grapevine and Lake Lewisville and blessed with heavily wooded hills, panoramic views, and an abundance of creeks and shorelines, offering unlimited recreational and leisure activities. Home to two nationally recognized golf courses, Tour 18 and Bridlewood, and only minutes from Grapevine Mills Mall, Parker Square Shopping Center, Bass Pro Outdoor World, and the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, Flower Mound offers residents and visitors numerous entertainment options. The Town was recently ranked on BusinessWeek.com's list of the Top 25 Best Affordable United States Suburbs.
