Six Decades of DFW Growth Under One Roof

Garland formed in 1887 when the rival communities of Duck Creek and Embree merged near the Santa Fe Railroad depot. But the real building boom came a century later. By the late 1960s, the population had surged past 70,000 as families moved into new brick ranch homes across the southern and central parts of the city. Neighborhoods like Club Hill, Spring Park, and Duck Creek Estates date to this era.

The 1970s and 1980s pushed development northward into areas like Firewheel, where larger lots and newer floor plans attracted a second wave of homeowners. Today, the Firewheel area includes established homes alongside the Firewheel Town Center shopping district. On the eastern edge, Lake Ray Hubbard brings lake-adjacent living with its own maintenance challenges, including moisture exposure on decks, fences, and exterior trim.
