Conveniently located on Dallas' northern border, Farmers Branch offers visitors a quaint and comfortable hometown with big-city convenience. Rich in history, Farmers Branch was settled in 1842. Originally, the area was called Mustang, as part of Peter's Colony, but was later changed to Farmers Branch due to the rich soil and flourishing crops. The settlement originally included all the land between White Rock Creek on the east, the Elm Fork of the Trinity on the West, the Dallas County Line on the north and Cedar Springs on the South. The Gilbert House, located in the Farmers Branch Historical Park is the oldest rock structure in Dallas County that is still on its original foundation. Additionally, the original 1877 depot has been restored and relocated to the Historical Park.

The Farmers Branch Historical Park opened in 1986 and has welcomed over 50,000 visitors each year. In addition to tours and educational programs, the Historical Park schedules many family-oriented events throughout the year including picnics and craft workshops. In 1946, the city of Farmers Branch was incorporated with a population of 800. Today, that number has grown to well over 24,000.
