Introduction to Lake Dallas, Texas
Lake Dallas, Texas, in Denton county, is 5 miles N of Lewisville, Texas (center to center) and 26 miles NW of Dallas, Texas. The city is home to some 6,166 residents.
Lake Dallas History
The area where Lake Dallas is located has been inhabited since 1852. The availability of timber, farmland, and water in the region contributed to its development. It was initially referred to as a French settlement. In 1881, the name was changed to Garza. The community residents adopted the name Lake Dallas after annexing the lake and the city was incorporated in 1965. The population increased as the region between Denton and Dallas developed and the city continues to grow because of its reputation as a resort destination.
