Presbyterians held religious camps for two to three weeks at a time in the Flower Mound area in the 1840s. The late historian, A.C. Greene, believed the name, Flower Mound, was given due to the unusual amount of wild flowers that grew on the mound.
By 1854, the Flower Mound Presbyterian Church was established by residents. The area remained sparsely populated for many decades after its initial settlement. The town was incorporated in 1961.
