Description
Highland Village - Proud to be the Safest Community in North Texas
Highland Village is approximately 5.5 square miles located in southern Denton County. The City is bound by FM 407 on the South, Lake Lewisville on the North, I-35E on the East and Chinn Chapel Road on the West (I-35W is located approximately 15 miles to the west). The City is located midway between Denton and Dallas, is approximately 15 miles from DFW Airport and is in close proximity to Alliance Airport.
Highland Village was incorporated in February 1963 after approximately 100 lakeside residents decided to make their homes permanent. The early residents, for the most part, were professionals from the Dallas area who wanted to “get-a-way” for the weekend and enjoyed it so much they moved to what became Highland Village.
Between 1975-1985, the City grew from approximately 1,000 to 5,000 and became a Home Rule City in 1986. Approximate population today is 15,000. Population at build-out is expected to be approximately 18,000.
