Flower Mound, Texas
Flower Mound is a town in Denton County, in the DFW / North Texas region about 12 miles south of the city of Denton and set between Grapevine Lake and Lewisville Lake. It takes its name from a real landmark, a natural prairie mound that draws unusually abundant wildflowers in spring and survives as one of the last unplowed remnants of the Blackland Prairie. Once a rural farming and ranching area, the town has become a large residential suburb within the northern part of the metroplex.
