The town was incorporated in 1958 with a population of 50. While the town motto is "Keeping It Country," the town still maintains the best of both worlds -- up-scale living in a beautiful rural atmosphere, while being just minutes away from fine shopping and dining throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The community is marked by large houses on large lots on the eastern side of the town, numerous horse farms, access to excellent schools, and beautiful creeks. The west side of town is the commercial district with large homes on small lots, many of which are townhomes. There are a number of new housing developments in the commercial district with smaller lot sizes than the one acre minimums previously required. The town has plans to attract a large shopping development (mall) at the corner of Highway 75 and Stacey Road, which they hope will encourage further commercial development of the area.
The town is adjacent to the 289-acre Heard Wildlife Sanctuary, which hosts more than 240 species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians and nearly 150 species of wildflowers and other plants. Heritage Ranch, a 575 acre residential development for senior citizens, was created in the late 1990s, complete with an 18-hole, par 72 7,040 golf course. The golf course was designed by Arthur Hills. Major airports in the area include DFW and Love Field.
