Farmers Branch was settled in the early 1850s because of the rich Texas farmland and soil. The city was home to the first Texan Land and Emigration Company, making the community one of the best-known places in Dallas because of its advertising in the United States and Europe. Samuel Gilbert and other prominent landowners sold right-of-way through their land to ensure that the Dallas and Wichita Railway would complete a track through Farmers Branch from Dallas to Lewisville. When the railway was absorbed by the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, Farmers Branch flourished. The city was officially incorporated in 1946 and the population quickly grew with new residents who commuted to Dallas to work in the strong manufacturing sector.

Today, Farmers Branch is still a bedroom community for the Dallas metro area, as local residents take advantage of exceptional local services and facilities. The city features a well-maintained Historical Park where visitors can enjoy beautiful gardens and historical buildings.
