The Colony, TX
Overview of The Colony
Known as the "City by the Lake," the quaint city of The Colony, Texas, is perhaps one of the best kept treasures in the northern Lone Star State region. Located 23 miles along the eastern shoreline of Lewisville Lake, residents here enjoy a diverse array of recreational activities. Due to its exceptional quality of life, low cost of living and close proximity to the metropolitan Dallas area, many residents are finding their home in The Colony apartments for rent. The city has seen an explosive amount of growth in recent years, with a population of more than 37,500, according to information from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Living in The Colony, TX
Since the city has seen steady growth since its incorporation in the late 1970s, it is amazing to think that this area was once a tract of open, free land. Once called Peters Colony, the area was eventually owned by the Texas Emigration and Land Company of Louisville, Ky., in the 1850s, and the land was set aside for new residents who pledged allegiance to what was known then as the Republic of Texas. The city underwent many changes over the years, but The Colony truly began to take shape after the construction of the Lewisville Lake Dam was completed in the 1970s, creating the neighboring city of Eastvale that attracted many Texans to the area.
The Colony Attractions and Special Events
Because of its ideal location near Lewisville Lake, The Colony boasts 28 parks with more than 3,000 acres - one of the highest acres of parks per capita in the state. Trails from leisurely to challenging are the perfect escape for many residents here. Another popular amenity that many families take advantage of for outdoor recreation is the Five Star Complex, the premier sports facility in the city. Home to numerous soccer fields, hiking and biking trails, football fields and a veterans memorial, this park is one of the many reasons why The Colony was named by Sports Illustrated as one of the top sports towns in the country.
