About Lewisville
Lewisville is a city in Denton County and Dallas County, Texas. As of the 2000 census the city had a total population of 77,737. With strong population growth continuing into the new millennium, the city's official web page gives a 2006 population estimate of 89,000. Lewisville is one of the older incorporated cities in the northern area of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, but it remained a small rural town with just a few thousand people as late as 1960.
Lewisville's growth is due in part to its proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a few miles to the city's south. Vista Ridge Mall is an important and expanding shopping center for Lewisville and surrounding communities. Lewisville Lake borders the city to the north; Lake Grapevine is located near its southern boundary. The city is served by the Lewisville Independent School District and to a lesser extent by the Coppell Independent School District. Four private Christian schools are also located in Lewisville. In 2006, the city received local bus service for the first time as a member of the Denton County Transportation Authority.
