A Historical Perspective

Originally farmland and open prairie, Far North Dallas began its transformation in the 1970s as Dallas expanded northward. The development of the Dallas North Tollway and George Bush Turnpike turned this once-quiet region into a hub of residential and commercial growth.

Addison, incorporated in 1953, was among the first suburbs to embrace urban-style development — blending high-rise living, walkable shopping districts, and dynamic nightlife. Today, Addison stands out as a model of mixed-use planning and economic vitality, while Far North Dallas continues to attract those seeking a peaceful yet connected lifestyle.
