History
The Town of Flower Mound derived its name from a prominent 12.5-acre mound – once covered with bluestem grasses and a variety of indigenous flowers – that rises 650 feet above sea level and stands 50 feet above the surrounding countryside.
Legend says The Mound was a sacred ceremonial ground used by Wichita Indians dating back to the early 1800s, and historians believe The Mound received its name in the 1840s because of an unusual amount of wildflowers that grew on it. This area was part of the great American Black Land Prairie that ran from Canada to the Rio Grande and from the Rockies to the Mississippi. Only 1,000 acres remain of the original 20 million acres known as the Tall Grass Prairie.
