The Flower Mound, located in Flower Mound, Texas, holds a significant place in history as a 12.576-acre native Tall Grass Prairie segment of the Great American Black Land Prairie. Named for the abundant wildflowers that grace its landscape, this landmark dates back to the 19th century and remains a testament to the region's natural beauty.
Protected by The Flower Mound Foundation since 1983, this site was officially recognized as a State of Texas Historic site on January 11, 1984. With a rich geological history dating back millions of years, The Mound offers visitors a glimpse into the past, where early travelers sought respite and Native American tribes revered the land.
Today, The Flower Mound stands untouched by plows, preserving its original character with Bluestem, Indian Grass, Switch Grass, and a diverse array of over 400 plant species. The Foundation's dedication to conservation and education is exemplified in works like "The Flower Mound, Flower Mound, Texas: A History and Field Guide to the Flowers and Grasses," available for purchase to support the maintenance of this unique natural treasure.
