City of Lewisville, TX
Lewisville is located in Denton County, Texas, and the census of 2008 revealed that the total population of Lewisville has reached over 100,000. It is one of the oldest cities to be incorporated into the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and was incorporated in the year 1925. It remained a fairly small town with a population of just over 10,000 people until a few decades ago.
Evidence of early paleo-indian inhabitation of the area that is now Lewisville has been found, and the city contains evidence of some of the earliest inhabitation in the U.S. and North America. The estimated date of this site is supposedly dated to 1100 B.C.
The settlement of Lewisville began around 1840 when the first white man to settle in the area, Basdeal Lewis, bought the first plot of land. He began living in the area, and, once people began to move into the area nearby, he named the growing town Lewisville after himself.
The growth of the small community was minimal in the second half of the 1800's, and the population only grew to 500 people by the end of the century. There were a number of industries that were agriculture related, such as a feed mill, livery stable, a cotton gin, and grist mill. A building was constructed in 1885, and that building is now home to the Greater Lewisville Community Theater. The building was constructed on Main Street, the largest street in the town at the time, and is still the oldest building still standing in Lewisville.
The first high school in Lewisville opened its doors in 1897, as well as the First National Bank of Lewisville. This bank was home to Denton County's very first bank robbery, which happened in 1909. By 1925, the city was slowly growing, with its first car dealership springing up in the city within the next couple of decades. The very first stop light was installed in the city in the same time period. That traffic light, located on Mill and Main Streets' intersection, remained the only stop light in the city for decades, when more were installed in the 1970's.
Another famous event happened at Lewisville's First National Bank, when the Barrow gang robbed the bank again. The Barrow gang was being led by Raymond Hamilton at the time, without Bonnie and Clyde, who were the leaders of the gang.
The city began constructing the Lewisville Dam in the year 1948, and the construction was completed by 1954. The construction of the dam caused the formation of the Lewisville Lake, a 120 square kilometer lake that was once the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir. By the year 1970, the population of Lewisville had reached over 9,000.
Lewisville was one of the first cities in Texas to integrate African-American students into the local high schools, with two graduating from the local high school in 1965, and a third graduating one year later. Lewisville played host to the Texas International Pop Festival, featuring performances on the weekend of Labor Day by famous artists such as Led Zeppelin, B.B. King, and Janis Joplin. This festival was held less than two weeks after the Woodstock festival, and attracted a quarter of a million music fans.
