About Flower Mound
Flower Mound is a city in Denton County, Texas. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 50,702, although the U.S. Census Bureau 2005 estimate was 63,526. The name comes from a large mound located in the southern portion of the city. The mound derives its name from the profusion of wild flowers that cover its slopes; though surrounded by commercial and residential development, it is privately owned so as to be protected from further development.
Flower Mound has a small-town atmosphere with easy access to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. It refuses to be referred to as a "city" despite its recent growth; it bills itself as the "Town of Flower Mound" with a "Town Hall" and a "Town Council". The town is home to the headquarters of Time Warner Cable's South/Southwest Division which employs over 1,400 people and provides services to over 530,000.
The town is mostly served by the Lewisville Independent School District. Other parts of Flower Mound are located in the Argyle Independent School District, Denton Independent School District, and Northwest Independent School District. The city is home to two high schools, Edward S. Marcus High School and the newer Flower Mound High School, both part of the Lewisville district. Such private schools as Liberty Christian School, Coram Deo Academy, and The Highlands School also serve students from Flower Mound who are seeking a private or religion-affiliated education.
