We've prepared this year's Discovering Denton County magazine with newcomers in mind, but longtime residents will also find value in the following 80 pages of lists, stories and information about the place we call home.

Denton County -- one of 254 counties in Texas -- offers something for everyone. The rolling pastures of horse country in the northern part of the county speak to our rural roots. Lewisville Lake and Ray Roberts Lake serve as playgrounds for fishing, boating and camping.

The city of Denton, population surpassing 125,000, is a mecca of education in Texas. More than 50,000 students attend the University of North Texas, TWU and North

Central Texas College. As a result, youthful creativity pulses through the county. One can feel the vibrancy in the arts, business and nonprofit communities.

Here is something important to understand about Denton: Interstate 35E connect the city to Dallas some 35 miles to the south. Interstate 35W connects the city to Fort Worth. But Denton is not a suburb of either big city.

Denton has stood alone and independent on the North Texas prairie for more than 150 years. The historic courthouse square is the city's beating heart, but growth and development are bringing change and challenges to Denton.

A generation ago, Rayzor Ranch con-

sisted of a big, columned mansion surrounded by vast pastures featuring grazing Texas Longhorn cattle. Located at the busy intersection of Interstate 35 and University Drive (U.S. Highway 380), Rayzor Ranch is now a beehive of shops and restaurants.

More importantly, it will be home to a new hotel and convention center destined to pump new life into the city and create new opportunities through tourism.

Keep Discovering Denton County 2016 on your coffee table as a handy reference guide for family and friends. We don't claim that it contains all you need to know, but it's a good start for anyone who wants to learn more about the good life in Denton County.

Denton Record-Chronicle

Denton’s arts offer something for everyone Denton’s downtown is the avatar for the city’s creative heart. Murals dress the walls off downtown businesses. Music venues give the nights an audible heartbeat. Art galleries get locals thinking about beauty and big ideas. And the neon sign of the Campus Theatre is a beacon for anyone who likes to immerse themselves in art, literature and music.

There’s something for every taste in Denton. All you need most nights is a $20 bill (more if you’re headed for a night of live theater), a taste for craft beer or carefully crafted coffee and all the curiosity you can muster.

Music Denton has drawn comparisons to Austin for decades not just because it’s home to a major state university.

Denton is likened to Austin because it incubates so many professional musicians and refines the musical palate of thousands of fans.

Between the Winspear Hall and the Lyric Theatre inside the Lucille “Lupe”Murchison Performing Arts Center, the University of North Texas presents up to three student recitals a day, in addition to faculty and guest performances. Elsewhere on campus, a similar schedule keeps recitals and concerts churning in the Paul

Voertman Concert Hall, Stan Kenton Hall, the university recital hall and Merrill Ellis Intermedia Theatre.

Texas Woman’s University keeps its faculty and students busy on stage at Margo Jones Performance Hall – lending the spotlight to instrumental and voice students, choirs and ensembles.

Indie rock music is alive and well in Denton, too. A thriving indie-folk movement has nurtured the likes of Doug Burr, Seryn, Chambers and Hares on the Mountain.

The local hip-hop scene is exploding, and the experimental artists can usually find a spot on a show, either at one of the city’s principal live music venues, or at one of the many house show venues in the city.

Venues All of Denton’s venues book a sampling of music, but some of the city’s venues are known for attracting emerging stars and luminaries of a particular sort.

Rockin’ Rodeo, 1009 Ave. C., boasts the biggest live music stage in Denton. Located right off of the UNT campus, the club plays top 40 music on several nights a week. On Thursday nights, Rockin’ Rodeo gives the stage to Texas, Red Dirt and Country bands and artists.

Dan’s Silverleaf, a popular downtown

venue, has a showcase for every taste. The bar and venue, located at 103 Industrial St., brings some of the most respected musicians and bands – Eleven Hundred Springs and Wayne “the Train” Hancock, Bill Frisell, Susan Gibson and even Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (a duo made up of Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl). Dan’s Silverleaf has also let some serious Denton talent serve up libations from behind the bar when they aren’t on the stage performing: Sarah Jaffe, Robert Gomez and Isaac Hoskins.

Andy’s Bar books a healthy slice of its calendar to hip-hop crews – Fab Deuce, D. Smiley, S. Goode, the Brain Gang and Av the Great. Its seen its share of electroni dance music, indie acts and hard-to-define acts looking to create a vibe. 122 N. Locust St. on the downtown Denton Square.

Audacity Brew House serves up a frosty beer with a side of music at 1012 Shady Oaks Dr. Music isn’t the pub’s first priority, but the parties who book musicians have brought solid acts to the venue, from former Denton chill-pop singer-songwriter Kaela Sinclair to local ska-punk outfit the Holophonics.

Harvest House opened during 35 Denton music festival in 2015. The Hickory Street pub is mostly about selling seasonal

coffees, craft beer, cocktails and has a taco truck tucked neatly into its expansive back patio - and both features have proven to be popular. Local bands play on the lighted stage at the far end of the patio from Wednesdays through Saturdays. The venue is at 331 E. Hickory St. Music buffs in Denton can also hit up The Labb, at 218 W. Oak St., and the Abbey Underground, at 100 W. Walnut St. The Old Dirty Basement at J&J’s Pizza, 118 W. Oak St. on the downtown Denton Square is famous for its loud and rowdy shows.

Sweetwater Grill & Tavern had developed a fierce following for its jazz series on the popular patio in downtown Denton.

Shows are more sporadic now, but the patio -- which feels twice the size of the L-shaped interior -- is still one of the most memorable places in town to catch a show.

Mabel Peabody’s Beauty Parlor & Chainsaw Repair is known as Denton’s gay bar, with space for a stage and a history of shows. The venue pours wine, beer and spirits while patrons watch a rock show or take in the latest of Denton’s burlesque scene. The bar is among the stores in the strip center at 1125 E. University Dr.

Arts Mulberry Street Cantina takes a page from Beale Street: the local bar has an open-air spot where music spills out on the street. The bar also plays host to game nights, themed events and regular trivia rounds to stump your memory and test your pop-culture knowlege.

The visual arts do a brisk business in Denton. The lone public gallery is the Appleton-Patterson Center for the Visual Arts, at 400 E. Hickory St. The larger Meadows Gallery is the setting for the Greater Denton Arts Council’s flagship annual exhibit, Materials: Hard & Soft. The show is a national American contemporary craft competition, and is the first exhibit of the year.

The smaller Gogh Gallery is booked throughout the year, too.

Both universities find a host of spaces for exhibitions throughout the year. Both students and working artists show their work in local coffeehouses, restaurants and businesses.

Three Denton companies produce complete theater seasons. The longest-running companies in Denton, Denton Community Theatre and Music Theatre of Denton, stage plays and musicals on the Campus Theatre stage.

vised and traditional theater.

Festivals Denton knows how to throw a party.

The Denton Arts & Jazz Festival marks the beginning of Spring, and the North Texas State Fair & Rodeo is the city’s unofficial start of fall.

There’s more to Denton’s festival calendar than these two major, historical events.

Thin Line Thin Line, the sole documentary film festival in Texas, brings more than 60 documentary films to Denton each February – and each year, some of the films are related to Denton, made by local filmmakers and include Denton residents. The festival grew into a film and music festival, earning raves from regional press.

Keep tabs on the event atwww.thinlinefilmfest.com.

35 Denton This festival is the wunderkind of the local festival scene. Though the festival began about 16 years ago as a Denton-specific party and showcase in Austin during South By Southwest Music Festival, it grew in what felt like a single bound in 2010.

The four-day walkable music festival is concentrated in downtown Denton venues, with two outdoor stages. It’s a smorgasbord of music – experimental, rock, pop, indie and hip-hop – that has brought international attention to the event and to the culture in Denton that made the city a viable setting for a notable music festival.

Newcomers to town might have noticed colorful, music-oriented murals on Hickory and Fry streets. Those murals are part of the partnership between the festival organizers and Denton businesses.

Denton Arts & Jazz Festival is held on the last weekend of each April. Hun-

dreds of fine artists set up booths to sell their wares, a community stage and children’s art tent keeps families busy and six stages keep the music goingFriday night, and all day on Saturday andSunday. The headliners play everything from blues to jazz.

The festival has drawn record numbers – in part because of the music, in part because of the art – and in part because the festival is free.

Denton Cinco de Mayo fills Quakertown Park with lots of culture and the best authentic Mexican food you can get each year (homemade tacos to fresh fruit sprinkled with chili powder) at Quakertown Park. The event starts with a parade and then moves on to the park, and is usually held the Saturday beforeMay 5 each year (this year, the festival happened the weekend after May 5). The family event includes music, art, children’s activities and vendor boots.

North Texas Fair & Rodeo starts on August 19 and continues through Aug. 27 at the North Texas State Fairgrounds, 2217 N. Carroll Blvd. The rodeo, livestock show, exhibition and concert series takes place over two weekends. The family event features traditional bull and bronco riding, as well as mutton busting and other contests for the younger set. The music lineup features: Jason Eady, Will Hoge, Mike Ryan, Uncle Lucius, Spivey Crossing, Cody Johnson and JB and the Moonshine Band.

Oaktopia Music & Cultural Festival was born three years. Organizers released some of the lineup in early June (Dr. Dog, Mates of State, Nikki Lane, Grandpa vs Prowler, WAVVES, and White Denim.) In other words, Oaktopia is aimed at a college age audience, but is sure to attract serious

music fans and festival lovers. The fest is scheduled for Sept. 22-24 in downtown Denton. When compared to the priciest music festival in Denton, 35 Denton, Oaktopia usually clocks in at an affordable $25 to $30 for early bird patrons, but ticket information wasn’t available by press time.

For more information, visithttp://www.oaktopiafest.com/.

Industrial Street Pop Festival is a small, one-day concert that celebrates the music of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Also known as “Geezerpalooza.”

The Facebook page recently announced this year’s date: Oct. 22.

Denton’s Day of the Dead is a celebration of Halloween, the harvest and a tip of the hat to Dia de los Muertos. The festival uses music, a street fair, coffin races, a parade and a Halloween musical. The free festival features a pumpkin patch of carnival games for children, vendor booths, concerts and a circus freakshow. The most popular part of the festival? The coffin races. Competing teams make soapbox cars – some look more like coffins than others – and race for bragging rights down Hickory Street. The event ends with Cirque du Horror, a Halloween musical variety show.

Holiday Lighting on the Square is the city’s official celebration of Christmas and the winter holidays. For decades, the event has followed a simple formula: gather residents for a sing-along and a treelighting, and then let the music andwassail flow freely. Even better: the tradition spun off another, complimentary event -- Wassail Fest, which begins the evening of the lighting, and in 2015, continued the next day.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of December on the downtown Denton Square, 100 E. Hickory St.

Denton Record-Chronicle

Denton produces a lot of talent Many well-known musicians are still creating their art here, kept happy by Denton’s music-savvy audiences. Other renowned musicians spent their formative years in Denton and return to perform on occasion, thanks in part to the long tradition of excellence at the University of North Texas College of Music. All of these artists may not be as well known as Pat Boone, Don Henley, Sara Hickman and Roy Orbison, who called Denton home at one time, but this primer of who’s who and what’s what should boost basic music literacy for natives and newbies alike.

Brave Combo. The ageless ensemble mixes up polka with other genres like no other band on earth. Whether nabbing a Grammy or a feature spot on The Simpsons, their intelligent and fun-loving approach to music makes the party when they are there, and thankfully the band is still based in Denton. The band is famous in town for their annual performance on the final day of the Denton Arts & Jazz Fest in which Denton youths gather for a massive “Chicken Dance” and “Polka Mosh”.

Bob Dorough. Jazz fans know him as an extraordinary pianist and vocal stylist, and millions more don’t realize they know him as composer of “Conjunction Junctio-

n,”“I’m Just a Bill” and the many other ABC Saturdaymorning cartoon hits of Schoolhouse Rock. This former UNT jazz student started writing the education jingles in the 1970s.

One O’Clock Lab Band. It’s hard to know whether this group is the headwaters or flagship of Denton music, so influential is this incubator for jazz artists. Named for the time of day that the band rehearses in Kenton Hall inside the UNT Music Building, the band forever renews itself by asking members to audition for their spot each semester. Wherever good jazz is being made in this country or abroad, there is likely an alumnus of this band.

Norah Jones. A graduate of Booker T. Washington Performing Arts High School in Dallas, Jones spent just two years at UNT in the jazz program, but her Texas roots run so deep that her music, like Brave Combo’s, crosses genres. Jones included UNT alumnus Tony Scherr on her highly successful album Feels Like Home and was even named an honorary chairman of the “Save Fry Street” campaign.

Tom Malone. A former member of the Two O’Clock Lab Band, Malone stood in the back row of the band on The Late Show with David Letterman. Sometimes dressed

Brave Combo as outrageously as bandleader Paul Schaffer, Malone plays trombone in the band, al-

Talent though he also played saxophone in the Two O’Clock. It was a call from Saturday Night Live that got his television and movie career launched. Malone wrote the chart for Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi’s first Blues Brothers skit on SNL, and Malone stayed with the Blue Brothers.

Lyle Mays. The piano behind the guitar in the Pat Metheny Group, Lyle Mays was also the genius behind the band when the One O’ ClockLab Band received Grammy nominations for its Lab ’75 and Lab ’76 albums. His solo album, called Solo Improvisations for Expanded Piano, (Warner Bros.) capitalizes on his intuitive strengths, but he can also be heard along with Meryl Streep’s narrative on Tale of Peter Rabbit/ Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher (Windham Hill).

Polyphonic Spree. Tim Delaughter is the brain behind this choral pop group that got its start at the Fry Street Fair. The group, whose total membership is an ever moving target (including famous Dallas artist St. Vincent), has managed to tour with the likes of David Bowie and The Divine Comedy. They continue to make a splash wherever they are by taking the stage dressed in choir robes and performing psychedelically happy music.

Patricia Racette. She came to the University of North Texas aspiring to be a jazz singer, but after a voice faculty member, the late Pattye Johnstone, heard her sing, she coaxed Racette toward classical training.

She left as the school’s most promising opera star, landing roles as Violetta and Mimi with the New York Metropolitan and San Francisco operas. Her performance in the title role of Emmeline, an opera by Tobias Picker, was broadcast on PBS. Others of Note

Larry McMurtry

June 26, 2016 Phyllis George. Crowned Miss America in 1971, this former Denton resident is one of three Miss Texas contestants who went on to win the national title. George went on to work for CBS as a sportsbroadcaster, the first woman to do so, and also has written several books.

Shirley Cothran-Barret. This former Denton resident won the Miss America title in1975. She made Denton her home until recently. She now lectures for Christian women’s groups.

Larry McMurtry. He graduated from The University of North Texas with a bachelor of arts in English in1958. The author of several well-known books, including The Last Picture Show and Lonesome Dove, he has returned to Archer City and runs a large bookstore.

Anne Rice. Another best-selling author who attended UNT, Rice was at the school from 1960 to 1962. Now a New Orleans resident, Rice is known as a teller of supernatural tales.

Dr. Phil McGraw. Best known as one of Oprah Winfrey’s gurus, McGraw managed to get his own television show after several appearances on Oprah. But long before he became a guest in millions of homes, he received his master’s degree and his doctorate in psychology at UNT. Latonia Moore. The soprano came to Denton to study vocal jazz at UNT College of Music. She also intended to further her study of gospel music. Then Moore linked up with the late Pattye Johnstone, who heard a formidable classical talent in the singer. During the 2015-2016 season, Moore has sung the title role in New York City Opera’s Tosca and the role of Cio-Cio San in Madame Butterfly with the Metropolitan Opera. The soprano’s rise has been steady, and she truly joined the major leagues when she replaced Violeta Urmana as Aida at The Met in 2012. Expect more starring roles and recordings from this onetime Denton resident.

Eric Pulido

Jason Lee. The actor and director is best known from his 2005-2009 television series My Name is Earl. In the last few years, the actor spent more and more time in Denton – owing to his love of Denton band Midlake. Lee finally moved to Denton last summer, and has quickly made a mark on the downtown as a financial investor in Barley & Board, a casual fine dining restaurant that builds its menu around craft beers and adventurous takes on eclectic American cuisine. Lee is also a board member of the Greater Denton Arts Council, the city’s clearinghouse for the performing and visual arts. Lee has his critics and detractors, but his footprint on Denton is undeniable.

Eric Pulido. The guitarist and lead singer of Denton band Midlake has been doing business in Denton for a while now, but Pulido has made significant moves -and connections -- in Denton in the last several years in a way that will likely be lasting. As an official with Oaktopia fest, Pulido has groomed a festival that caters to visiting bands and artists. In just a few years, Oaktopia has promoted Denton to touring artists as a city that understands comfort and hospitality. Some of that is due to Denton’s size; No sprawl makes Denton a beatdown

to traverse during a music festival (here’s looking at you, Austin and South By Southwest). But there’s something to be said for fests like Oaktopia and Denton Arts & Jazz treating visiting recording artists like guests instead of cash cows. Pulido’s fingerprints are also on: Paschall Bar, Norman Roscoe, the popup printing shop and boutique on the Square.

Chris Flemmons. The musician and innovator would probably tell you he’s a hometown boy who just loves Denton and hopes to stay here for life. Or he’d admit to being the mercurial creative force behind Denton’s most iconic Americana act, the Baptist Generals. He’d wave away honorifics, but Flemmons can’t deny that without his perseverance and leadership, 35 Denton music festival wouldn’t be the regional draw it is. True, the festival was once a more ambitious animal -- netting acts such as Big Boi, Solange Knowles, Built to Spill and the Jesus and Mary Chain. But even as a scaled-back festival (with noteworthy headliners such as Eliot Sumner, Biz Markie and Charles Bradley) and a new crop of leaders, the festival still bears Flemmons’ trademark appetite for traditional and adventure.

Many four-legged residents call Denton home

By Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe Staff Writer

Denton loves its four-legged friends. A state-of-the-art animal shelter serves as a temporary home for dogs and cats, a cityoperated dog park offers plenty of space to run and play, and every year a long-running festival celebrates man’s best friend.

Shelter The new Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center makes it easier than ever for people to find a pet that will be a good fit for their family.

Located at 3717 N. Elm St., the center has four get-acquainted rooms in addition to ample facilities - kennels, rooms and yards - where dogs and cats can live and play temporarily.

Staff and volunteers care, and help find forever homes, for lost and surrendered pets that sometimes includes chickens and pot-bellied pigs and other less-common animal companions. Denton holds lost pets a little longer than the state requires, a full 96 hours, to give owners time to reclaim them.

Thanks to help from the Denton Animal Support Foundation fee, the city can keep adoption fees low. Pets receive on-site veterinary care and can go home with their forever family the same day with shiny, new

tags.

Residents looking for volunteer opportunities can work directly with the foundation, Denton animal services or the many rescue group partners who care for feral cats and foster dogs until they can find new homes.

For more information, call Denton Animal Services at (940) 349-7594.

Park Denton's dog park, Wiggly Field, is located in Lake Forest Park at 1760 E. Ryan Rd. Two fenced areas, slightly less than an

WE DO MORE THAN JUST GREAT OIL CHANGES

acre for small or shy dogs and two acres for large dogs, offers plenty of room to be off the leash, run and play. There are no restrooms at Wiggly Field, but the park does have drinking fountains for both humans and pets.

Dogs must display current tags - both the rabies vaccination and a city registration tag - to use the park. Denton Animal Services charges $4 to register a spayed or neutered animal and $25 to register an unaltered pet.

For more information on registering your animal, or the rules and etiquette for Wiggly Field, visit the city's website, www.cityofdenton.com.

Festival For 23 years, the city has played host to the Denton Dog Days festival, an event for canines and their human pets. This year, the event will be held Saturday, October 1, at the North Texas Fairgrounds, 2217 N. Carroll Blvd., in Denton. One lucky canine will be named "Spokesdog" of the year. The event includes demonstrations by dogs and their trainers, contests, food and other entertainment.

Denton County has colorful history

By Keith Shelton

For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Denton County has risen to become a major metropolitan county despite: -- years of land disputes, -- years of Indian raids and fears of Indian raids, -- drought and famine, -- devastation caused by the Civil War, -- devastating fires, -- two world wars.

The history of Denton County somewhat follows the history of Texas but with its own particular problems and opportunities.

It started with years of complications, lawsuits and legislation over land.

What is now Denton County was part of what is known as the Peters Colony, although the group of English investors headed by W.S. Peters of Louisville, Ky., failed in repeated contracts with the Republic of Texas to bring settlers to north Texas. to the Republic of Texas.

In the winter of 1841-42 a first wave of settlers—not exactly a wave, somewhere between 12 and 100 families--moved into the huge area, according to Dr. Bullitt Lowry’s “Smallholder County, A History of Denton County.”

All of what became 13 counties was involved in the fourth contract. What is now Denton County was included.

In 1846, the Legislature created several counties, including Denton County, which had been part of Fannin County.

Major land disputes followed. The Texas governor appointed a special commissioner, Thomas William Ward, to travel the state and issue certificates validating land claims. In the summer of 1849, he stopped at Alton, the new county seat.

The Census of 1850 showed 110 families living in Denton County, including 332 white males, 299 white females. There were no free blacks and 10 slaves.

Four events determined the future of Denton County.

The death of John B.Denton in a battle with Indians (gave the county and city their names). A treaty with the Indians at Bird’s Fort (legally cleared the area of Indians.)

The marking of Preston Road from Dallas to Preston on the Red River (opened a path to its doors.) and the fourth contract with what was the Peters Colony (which gave it its first settlers.)

Settlements were made where trails crossed rivers, including in Denton County Big Elm, and Fishtrap Crossing where present day U.S. 380 crosses the head of Lewisville Lake The Cross Timbers served as trail markers for early travelers moving north and south. Pilot Knob, Bald Knob and Blue

History In the spring of 1870, a sandstone jail was built on the east side of the square.

Denton got its first city charter in 1868.

J.B. Sawyer became the city’s first mayor in 1869.

In 1868, the courthouse square was a favorite hunting ground for wild turkeys and prairie chickens. (A man killed a goose and on his way home people pulled out feathers to make quill pens. His goose was naked by the time he got home.)

The first high school on South Elm had three classrooms. Dr. Pitts, a retired Methodist minister, was the first high school teacher. Public schools started in 1840. . Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Mayes owned the Mayes Hotel. The family met Sam Bass in Mississippi and he came back to Denton with them in 1872. .

Bass worked in the wagonyard of the Lacy Hotel. He acquired a fast horse called the Denton Mare and raced it. He won lots of money and when he beat some Indians, they wouldn’t pay up and he was in danger.

After he left Denton, he robbed trains, banks and stagecoaches. He once got $60,000 in gold pieces. Texas Rangers finally caught up with him in Round Rock.

He died July 21, 1878. He was 27.

Dec. 23-24, the courthouse burned. A new $40,000 brick courthouse was built in 1876-77. A year later the south side of the square burned.

By 1880, Denton County had 18,143 residents; Denton had 1,194.

April 1, 1881, Texas & Pacific Railroad brought the first train to Denton. Soon after, the MKT came.

The arrival of the railroads opened a new era. It opened new markets for Denton north and south. Pursuit of an east-west line were fruitless.

New towns took names from the railroads. Sanger, Krum, Ponder, Justin, Aubrey, Roanoke and Argyle came after the railroads There was a bond election in 1882 to raise money for public schools. A three-story, 12-classroom school was built between East Sycamore and East Mulberry. It was Denton’s first school and became Robert E. Lee School. Students paid a fee to attend.

Denton was incorporated n 1866. Oliver P. Poe served as mayor to 15 1/2 years.

In 1881, much of the square burned.

In 1890, the city bought a brick building on Oak between Cedar and Bolivar. It housed city offices, the jail and a fire station.

With the railroads, cattle drives ended.

In the spring of 1890, there was a mass meeting with Joshua Chilton of Missouri as main speaker. Afterwards, W.A. Ponder and nine others formed The Syndicate and bought 240 acres

Discovering Denton County south of Hickory Street and west of Avenue A on which to build a college.

In 1890, Denton voted for a $15,000 bond issue. A three-story brick building was erected on Hickory Street in 1895. It became Texas Normal College and contracted with J.C. Chilton for five years.

There were five on the faculty and the first year of classes was 1890-91, In September of 1894, a grand jury declared the old courthouse unsafe. A new one was designed by W.C. Dodson and constructed by Tom Lovell. The cornerstone was laid Feb. 8, 1897. It cost $100,000.

(Stonecutters got 40 cents and hour.

On Nov. 28, 1901, the remains of John B. Denton were moved to the courthouse lawn.

In 1902 there was a wet-dry election. In Denton County 2,747 voted for prohibition (dry) and 2,630 against.

On March 25, 1901, amass meeting was held to pursue a second college.

Land was acquired on John B.Denton St. and a two-story brick building completed in 1902.The John B. Denton College was opened. It later changed names and moved to Abilene and became Abilene Christian College.

A State Industrial School for Girls was to be established in 1902. A Denton committee raised $30,000 and offered several sites. On Jan. 3, 1903, Denton was selected and 67 acres accepted.

In 1905, it became the College of Indus-

13

trial Arts. Later Texas State Colllege for Women and eventually Texas Woman’s University.

World War I was the next big thing for the county. In May 1917, Capt. Noah Roark organized a Texas National Guard unit in Denton County. The unit entered U.S service as Co. M, 7th Texas Infantry. The company trained in Denton.

It was estimated that 1,200 to 1,500 men went to war from Denton County, 400 to 500 from Denton.

The Great Depression caused Denton County to see its first population lost from one census to the next. Drought and poor crops caused panic. In 1931, the city cut salaries of its employees 10 percent. Bank deposits went from $$2,041,804 in 1928 to $1,162,024 in January 1934, Bread was 5 cents, 4 cents on special.

World War II dominated the 1940s. In 1942, ration books were issued to 36,000 families in Denton County, Many men from Denton County died in the war that ended in 1945. Four men from Denton became generals.

The rest is modern history. The county developed into one of the major urban areas of the state while still thriving in agriculture. It remains a major university center with North Texas and TWU growing in numbers and stature.

The county’s population in the 2010 Census was 662,614.

Denton’s population is over 120,000.

Denton offers shoppers plenty to choose from

By Jenna Duncan Staff Writer

While the retail scene has changed around Denton and multiple longtime shops have closed, even more have popped up in the past year.

There are two newcomers to the downtown Square: Palm Tree Boutique and Norman Roscoe, joining other locallyowned clothing and resale shops. While these and other stores like la di da focus on clothing and accessories, longtime staples like the Downtown Mini Mall and Recycled Books feature rare finds.

"Downtown Denton has an eclectic mix of boutiques and shops ranging from shabby chic furniture, vintage clothing and antiques to fine furnishings, appliances, art, books, music and clothing,” said Christine Gossett of the Denton Main Street Association. “Locally owned shops and galleries provide a local touch with their handmade or hand-crafted, recycled, or brand items, and personal customer service.”

Locally owned retail expands past the downtown Square, from skateboard shop Denton Skate Supply on N. Locust St. to the DIME store on N. Elm St., which features handmade goods like soaps, pillows and home goods.

Other independent retailers, including

MEADOR NURSERY the secret to your garden

J.T. Clothiers and Small Fry Children’s Clothing, are also located in the city.

With Rayzor Ranch Town Center under construction on W. University Drive, Denton is posed to have even more options in the near future.

Its successful counterpart, Rayzor Ranch Marketplace began opening stores in late 2010. Now shoppers can find major retailers Kohl’s and Ross Dress For Less alongside Famous Footwear.

Together, the two Rayzor Ranch projects aim to be a shopping destination in Denton, said Stephanie Whitlow, director of marketing and communications for RED Development, the company overseeing the development.

“Rayzor Ranch Town Center has opened its first retail, restaurant and grocery stores adding to the successful Rayzor Ranch Marketplace for what is a growing super-regional shopping, dining and entertainment destination,” she said. “Once fully developed, the project will offer more than 1.2 million square feet of space including a brand new 318-room hotel and 70,000 square foot City of Denton Convention Center.”

Current stores at the Town Center development focus more on food and services, like Envy Nail Spa, but RED Develop-

ment officials said they expect retail to join on soon.

Golden Triangle Mall has continued to expand its offerings and longtime tenants such as Dillard’s and J.C. Penney have expanded their spaces and offerings, like J.C. Penney adding in a Sephora make up department. The mall also now boasts popular retailer H&M. This means Denton is retaining the tax

base and keeping money in the city instead of shoppers going to Lewisville or Frisco, said Matt Ludemann, the mall manager.

“It’s convenient and a fresh new environment,” he said. “There are lots of extra amenities like all new interior seating and some new food options along the way. I think we’re created a pretty good shopping experience and are in the process of creating a very exciting shopping experience.”

Broad range of health services offered

By Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe Staff Writer

Denton’s medical community offers a broad range of health services. One of the city’s two full-service hospitals offers a trauma center and the other hospital an obstetrics center capable of handling childbirth emergencies and intensive care for premature babies.

In addition, Denton is home to many specialty hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, an air ambulance service, 24-hour pharmacies and birthing centers.

Denton Regional Medical Center, located in southern Denton at 3535 S. Interstate 35E, holds Level 3 trauma certification and is pursuing a higher Level 2 designation.

The hospital recently celebrated a grand reopening of its emergency services, after adding more trauma rooms and beds in the emergency room. Staffed by 850 employees and more than 300 physicians, the hospital has 208 beds. For more information about its advanced open-heart surgery and trauma facilities, as well as its other health programs, visit dentonregional.com.

On the north side of the city, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton supports full-service, acute care with 255 private rooms for inpatients. It offers the city’s only Level III neonatal intensive care unit.

Other services include cardiovascular care, orthopedics, oncology, pediatrics and women’s health. Its doctors practice independently and are not hospital employees.

An affiliate of Texas Health Resources, the hospital also offers outpatient care and educational and other outreach services. For more information, visit, www.texashealth.org/denton.

The 22-bed Heart Hospital Baylor Denton has a 5-bed emergency department, specialized operating rooms and state-ofthe-art equipment. The hospital’s full-time doctors and nurses specialize in delivering care, including noninvasive treatments, for heart and vascular health. Learn more at

denton.thehearthospitalbaylor.com.

The nonprofit Denton County MHMR operates an outpatient clinic as well as a crisis center and a mobile crisis outreach team to help in a mental health emergency. The triage center is located at 2509 Scripture Street, Suite 100, and can be reached at 1800-762-0157. The clinic is next door at 2519 Scripture and can be reached at 940381-5000.

The air ambulance service, CareFlite, has a helicopter base at Denton Regional Medical Center and operates out of Denton Enterprise Airport. For more information, visit www.careflite.org.

In addition to the 24-hour pharmacies

at both full-service hospitals, three freestanding pharmacies are open 24 hours per day, including two across the street from each other in central Denton: the Walgreens Pharmacy at 101 W. University Dr. and CVS Pharmacy at 116 W. University Dr. The CVS Pharmacy at 3200 Teasley Lane in southern Denton also is open 24 hours per day.

Three Denton pharmacies advertise their compounding services, including Denton Prescription Shop at 2501 W. Oak St. #100, Community Pharmacy at 4400 Teasley Lane #100 and S&J Scripture Street Pharmacy at 1612 Scripture St. Two local birthing centers are state licensed and staffed with midwives.

Located at 1823 N. Locust St. in central Denton, the Inanna Birth & Women’s Care center offers a home-like environment for childbirth, its preparation and after care.

For more information, visit www.inannabirth.com.

Just south of the Denton city limits on a three-acre, tree-covered lot, All About Babies Birthing Center also offers a quiet, comfortable place for childbirth. For more information, visit www.allaboutbabies.net.

Denton Record-Chronicle

What you need to know

By Randy Cummings

For the Denton Record-Chronicle

If you're new to Denton, let us be among the first to say, "Welcome!" As a newcomer to the area, you'll quickly realize that Denton and the surrounding area is a great place to live.

You'll soon come to know that Denton is a growing community with a wide variety offriendly neighborhoods and all the urban conveniences you could want. There's plenty of shopping options on both the north and south sides of Denton that make it easy to look for anything you might be wanting without having to battle traffic and time driving south to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

Denton also offers its citizens a long lineup of public events throughout the year that cover just about every area of interest, most notably the annual North Texas State Fair and Rodeo every fall along with the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival in the spring.

In recent years Denton has grown to become the 12th largest city in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, with an estimated population of 123,099 that makes its the 27th most populous city in Texas.

Denton Arts and Jazz Festival Whether you arrived here from another part of the Lone Star state or are coming here from out of state, there are some things you'll need to do to get settled in and

make it feel like Denton truly is home.

Whether it's a matter of getting your driver's license updated or figuring out where the nearest post office is, we're here to make

your "to-do" list a little easier to check off.

DRIVER'S LICENSE Texas Dept. of Public Safety 820 N. Loop 288 940-484-6666 If you're new to Texas, a trip to the Department of Public Safety is necessary. A list of offices can be found on the agency's web site, www.txdps.state.tx.us. Bring your out-of-state license if you have one and proof of a Social Security number, which can be a Social Security care or one of many other official documents. Also, proof of Texas vehicle registration and liability insurance is required if you own a vehicle. If the out-of-state license is valid, the only required exam will be an eye test. If the license is expired, a written exam and drive test will also be administered. The standard fee for a Texas license ranges from $16-$33.

Under Texas law, though, drivers who have accumulated at least three major moving violations or who have cause two or more accidents must pay a surcharge to renew their licenses. If you're moving to Denton from within the state of Texas, you have 30

Need days to report the address change to the DPS. The paperwork can be obtained by visiting any DPS office, by emailing your request to customerservicedl@txdps.state.tx or by downloading the documents from the DPS website and mailing it to the state. A $10 fee will be charged.

VEHICLE REGISTRATION/INSPECTION Texas requires that all vehicles must be registered and inspected annually – and they must be inspected in the county in which they're registered. Inspections can be done at any number of local oil change businesses and repair garages, and must be done prior to renewal of a registration.

When your car or truck is inspected it will automatically be added to an inspection database and upon your online or in-person registration, your vehicle's passing inspection will be automatically verified. Vehicle registration may be renewed 90 days before the expiration date or up to six months after the expiration date. To register a vehicle in person, you can go to the Denton County tax office located at 1505 E. McKinney Street in Denton with proof of ownership and insurance. If the vehicle is not in your name, proof of purchase must be provided. After the proper documentation is shown and the forms have been filled out, a fee will be charged based on the vehicle's year, make and model, if it's a truck, and it's weight. License plates and a registration/inspection sticker will then be issued. Even if you have only moved from within the state, you must notify the county tax office.

Denton County offers a wide variety of schools

By Caitlyn Jones Staff Writer

Denton County is home to a multitude of schools, both public and private, that strive to give the children of Denton the best education possible.

Founded in 1882, the Denton Independent School District is the largest school district in the northern portion of the county. The district stretches 180 square miles, and its boundaries include Denton and 17 other cities, communities and developments in Denton County. Denton ISD includes two early childhood centers, 23 elementary schools, seven middle schools, four comprehensive high schools, an alternative learning high school and an advanced technology complex.

In 2013, voters approved a $312 million bond package supporting a fourth comprehensive high school, a ninth-grade addition at Guyer High School, two new elementary schools, a middle school, renovations at 17 campuses, energy conservation improvements and land acquisition.

Construction is currently underway in the Little Elm area on Braswell High School, named for former superintendent Ray E. Braswell, the Bill Carrico Athletic Complex and Field House, named for a former Denton ISD educator and coach and Catherine Bell Elementary, named for a retired Denton ISD educator and longtime community activist. All three facilities are slated to open the 2016-17 school year along the U.S. Highway 380 Corridor.

According to district officials, enrollment for the Denton school district is projected to climb above 28,808 pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students for the 2016-17 school year. For more information, visit www.dentonisd.org.

Other public school districts Denton County include Argyle, Aubrey, Krum, Lake Dallas, Lewisville, Little Elm, Northwest, Pilot Point, Ponder and Sanger.

Among the private school options in the city of Denton and in nearby Argyle are Denton Calvary Academy, Immaculate Conception Catholic School, Liberty Christian School and Selwyn College Preparatory School.

Denton Calvary School, located on University Drive in Denton, has a student body of kindergarten through 12th-grade students. For more information, visit http://www.dentoncalvary.org.

Immaculate Conception Catholic School, located on Bonnie Brae Drive in Denton, is one of 20 diocesan schools and is open to North Central Texas area students from age 3 to the eighth grade. For more information, visit http://www.catholicschooldenton.org.

Liberty Christian School in Argyle offers a college-preparatory education based on

biblical principles to pre-school through 12th-grade students. For more information, visit http://www.libertychristian.com.

Selwyn College Preparatory School, located on University Drive in Denton, is open to approximately 150 students from 13 months old through the 12th grade. For more information, visit http://www.selwynschool.com.

Among some of the area charter schools are the Texas Education Centers, which has campuses in three Denton County communities. For more information, visit http://www.texaseducationcenters.org.

Denton is also home to several other charter schools. A complete listing of other charter schools in Denton County can be accessed by visiting the Texas Education map of Texas charter schools at http://bit.ly/1IaAzBj.

Local universities educate, entertain

By Britney Tabor Staff Writer

Denton County’s local universities and colleges play a huge part in its identity.

The county’s two state universities and community college not only educate thousands of students annually, but play hosts to several public concerts, exhibits, lectures and other events.

Texas Woman’s University Texas Woman’s University, founded in 1901, is the largest university in the nation primarily for women, according to its website.

In addition to its main campus in Denton, TWU has campuses in Dallas and Houston. The university has an enrollment of 15,000 among its three schools. At its main campus, university officials reported record enrollment last fall with more than 12,550 students. TWU offers degrees in liberal arts, nursing, health sciences, science, business and education.

In 2015, TWU opened its Woodcock Institute for Advancement of Neurocognitive Research and Applied Practice with a $10 million gift from Richard W. Woodcock, a psychologist and psychometrician. The gift was the largest in university history.

TWU is also home to an art collection with hundreds of pieces that are available

Annually, the university also hosts multiple activities, concerts, sporting events and exhibits open to the general public.

For more information on TWU and its attractions and events, visit www.twu.edu.

University of North Texas On the heels of its 125th anniversary, the University of North Texas is set to reach greater and higher heights.

In fall 2015, it reported record enrollment numbers on its main campus in Denton with more than 37,000 students. UNT has several other campuses in Dallas, Fort Worth and Frisco.

The university offers more than 200 undergraduate, maters and doctorate degree programs.

Earlier this year, UNT earned Tier 1 status by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, labeling it one of the nation’s “highest research” institutions.

At the time of the announcement, President Neal Smatresk told the Denton Record-Chronicle that the university is “on a trajectory that’s very ambitious. I don’t think we’re going to back away from that — we’re going to continue accelerating toward our goal.”

North Central Texas College North Central Texas College has six campuses, two of which are in Denton

County.

The two-year community college has existed for more than 90 years and is one of the “oldest continuously, two-year public” colleges in Texas, according to its website.

In 2013, the college was awarded a fouryear grant totaling more than $4.66 million to train students in information technology.

Awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor, the grant has allowed NCTC to expand technology offerings to students including cyber security, Web design, Cisco and databases.

NCTC offers courses in career and technical education, health sciences and arts and sciences.

Annually, the college also sponsors multiple recitals, concerts, stage productions, lectures and exhibits including its NCTC Art Show and Creative Writing Awards.

Its two Denton campuses are located in Corinth and Flower Mound.

Transportation options are plentiful

By Bj Lewis Staff Writer

Running five years strong in Denton County is the A-train.

Denton County Transportation Authority’s A-train is the commuter rail that since June 2012 has been transporting thousands of passengers from Denton to Carrolton where they can hop aboard Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s system to continue into Dallas.

“DCTA’s A-train has been a key part of the Denton community in changing the way people travel and encouraging city growth,” said DCTA president, Jim Cline.

“We’re excited to celebrate five years of Atrain service, and appreciate the support from Denton residents and community leaders which has enabled us to operate a successful rail line with increased ridership year-over-year.”

Approved by Denton County voters in 2002, DCTA has come to offer a number of services to the public, including local bus service in Denton, Lewisville and Highland

Village, campus shuttles to the University of North Texas and North Central Texas College, van pool and on-demand transportation service in Denton, Lewisville and

Highland Village.

The rail is convenient way for people going to and from Denton to avoid the continued expansion work on Interstate-35E that often leaves the highway clogged with traffic and will likely continue through the end of phase one construction in mid-2017.

To make it even easier for passengers to plan trips and purchases bus and rail passes, DCTA staff implemented that the Go Pass Mobile Ticketing app. Users are able to plan trips and purchase day passes or regional passes that give them access to both DART and DCTA services using their smart phones.

For additional information on DCTA services, trip planning assistance or disability services, visit https://www.dcta.net or call 940-243-0077 Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Calling all sports fans

By Jimmy Isbell For the Denton Record-Chronicle

It’s an exciting time in Denton, especially for sports fans. The “Little D”, as residents nicknamed it years ago, is home to some outstanding high school and college athletic programs.

In August, Braswell High School will open, joining Denton High, Ryan and Guyer as Denton Independent School District’s fourth high school. Braswell opens with grades 9-11, and will immediately play a varsity schedule in all sports.

According to the school’s athletic coordinator and head football coach Cody Moore, any sport available at any other Denton ISD school will be available to Braswell’s incoming students.

Braswell’s school colors are red white and black and the mascot is a Bengal. The Bengals will compete in District 5-5A, play all their football games at C.H. Collins Athletic Complex, and open district play against the Ryan Raiders September 29th.

Denton is also home to the University of North Texas, a member of Conference USA. Its football stadium, Apogee Stadium, can be seen from Interstate 35 and is

home to the Mean Green Eagles. In December of 2015, the football program hired Seth Littrell as its new head coach.

The former offensive coordinator at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill looks to revive the program after the Eagles finished its 2015 campaign with a 1-11 record. Former Allen graduate (2011) and Alabama quarterback Alec Morris trans-

ferred to UNT last fall and has already been named the Week 1 starter after a successful spring.

Littrell plans to use the same air-raid offense he utilized with the Tar Heels, and believes Morris is capable of turning the Eagles around.

Further down the road, Denton is home to Texas Woman’s University. The Lady Pi-

oneers compete in the Lone Star Conference.

The Kitty Magee Arena is home to the Lady Pioneers’ basketball, volleyball and gymnastics programs. The Lady Pioneers also have successful softball, gymnastics and soccer teams.

The Denton area has been blessed with its growth and it clearly shows with the new campus sprouting up and attractive talent heading its direction.

Next year will surely be a historic year for Denton’s athletic programs.

As for the surrounding Dallas/Fort Worth area, it is a hot spot for professional sports. Dallas is home to six major sports franchises.

AUTO RACING The Texas Motor Speedway is located just along Interstate 35W and State Highway 114 in north Fort Worth. The NASCAR series visits the track in April and again in late October.

For tickets, times of races, schedule and events, call their services department at 817-215-8510.

Argyle focuses on business development, education

By Jimmy Isbell For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Founded in 1881, Argyle is home to city slickers and country folk. With its focus to grow in business, land development and top-notch education, the city is much like a close family.

The city’s community is combined of smaller lots to sizable more rural residences on many acres.

Those who reside in Eagle country can hop on Interstate 35 to get to work in Dallas or Fort Worth. The town is home to seven churches, a municipal court and top-tier police and fire departments.

Argyle Independent School District serves the town with five schools: Argyle high Argyle middle, Argyle Intermediate and Hilltop Elementary. The city is also home to one of the top private schools in the state, Liberty Christian.

Argyle is widely known for its education and athletic achievements. During the 2015-’16 school year, Argyle high school’s Lady Eagles basketball team won a second straight state title. The football team made it to the state title game for the fourth time in the last five years, but ultimately fell to Waco La Vega.

Aubrey embraces its farming roots

By Jimmy Isbell

For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Just 12 miles northeast of Denton, Aubrey is known for its rich farming history.

One of the most interesting parts of Aubrey’s history is its annual Peanut Festival.

In the early 1800s, the main cash crop for Aubrey was the peanut. The festival is a town-favorite and includes multiple family-fun activities and a parade.

Aubrey has grown immensely with multiple estate communities popping up, like Savannah Paloma Creek and Providence Village.

Aubrey Independent School District consists of five schools: Aubrey high, Aubrey middle, Brockett elementary, Monaco elementary and the Early Bird Learning Center. All the schools feed directly into Aubrey High, home of the Chaparral.

Corinth thrives

By Randy Cummings For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Founded in 1960, Corinth has evolved into comfortable get-away community nestled just south of Denton with quick access to both Dallas and Fort Worth.

Located just off I-35, Corinth offers up small-town country living, which has made it the perfect place for the city slicker looking for a change in lifestyle. One center of community activities is the Oakmont Country Club, which in 2014 was named one of the Best Country Clubs in the DFW area by Avid Golfer magazine. Built in 1986, the Oakmont golf course is a par 72, 6,799-yard wooded course that beautifully weaves its way though Corinth's neighborhoods.

Cross Roads strives to protect environment

By Randy Cummings

For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Nestled near the northeast corner of Denton at the intersection of U.S. Highways 380 and 377, Cross Roads is located in a prime position that will allow it to grow while enjoying all that "Little D" has to offer just 4 miles away.

Cross Roads, with an estimated population reach 1,563 most recently, was designed with an architectural theme of "Texas Country," which it hopes has resulted in the town possessing a special look and feel all its own.

In fact, the city has ordinances on the books regarding the protection and preservation of trees within the city limits. One of the town's prominent goals is the conservation of its trees as well as the protection of its surrounding enviornment.

The town of Cross Roads covers seven square miles and residents enjoy the luxury of not paying property taxes, although county tax and school district taxes do apply to residents. Speaking of schools, Cross Road students attend schools in both the Aubrey Independent School District as well as the Denton ISD.

Highland Village is regularly included in D Magazine's annual listing of the top 10 suburbs and communities in the area and it's easy to see why with its high class shopping outlets, eateries and many neighborhoods boasting a variety of custom built homes.

It also hosts the annual Highland Village Art Festival that showcases more than 30 artists work, demonstrations, live music and children art activities.

Initially born as one of the many DallasFort Worth suburbs to rise up after the creation of the DFW International Airport, Highland Village is so much more than a so-called bedroom community.

Justin hosts many community events

By Randy Cummings

A community of 3,333, Justin rests 17 miles south of Denton just a short drive from the Texas Motor Speedway. It's also an easy 26 miles from the DFW International Airport and four major hospitals are within 15 minutes of Justin. Justin is part of the Northwest Independent School District and is also a short commute to nearby colleges and universities such as UNT and Texas Woman's University in Denton, Tarrant County College and TCU in Fort Worth and UT-Arlington in Arlington.

While Justin may be small in terms of the number of residents, it's big on hosting events that annually bring the community a little closer together. In the last weekend of September the annual Justin Fun Days is held and followed in October by the Justin Fire Department's Fish Fry, an annual fund-raising event to purchase and upgrade equipment for the department that's been held every year since 1974.

In December, the town's Old-Fashioned Christmas Celebration includes a fun parade through town for the family to enjoy.

Lewisville, located down Interstate 35 at the midway point between Denton and Dallas, is the cornerstone community of what is known as the Lake Cities area -- an aptly named region since it surrounds Lake Lewisville.

With the 29,000-acre Lake Lewisville offering everything outdoor enthusiasts could ask for, including boating, camping, fishing, swimming and bird watching, residents of Lewisville also have a multitude of festivals and other events to enjoy. The city's Western Days and Sounds of Lewisville Concert Series are two of the more popular, although the annual Red, White and Lewisville fireworks show always draws an impressive crowd as does the Best Little Brewfest in Texas, which offers tasty refreshments from more than 50 craft breweries.

Lewisville's most recent census puts its population tipping out a little more than 100,000.

The city offers plenty of top restaurants from which to choose and its nightlife provides additional options such as performances at the Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater, which "hosts regularly scheduled Broadway-style musicals, plays

Pilot Point mixes old with new

By Jimmy Isbell For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Rich in history, Pilot Point is the oldest town in Denton County. However, its small-town feel doesn’t necessarily mean it’s where the cattle graze. Pilot Point’s shopping centers, top-flight medical facility and an upspring of residential lots has made Bearcat country a charming slice of the North Texas landscape.

The city had a nickname prior to its establishment, “the Pilot’s Point” due to it being the highest point of elevation in the Denton area.

Pilot Point is served by the Pilot Point Independent School District with four schools: Pilot Point high school, Pilot Point elementary, Pilot Point middle school and Pilot Point intermediate.

Ponder has colorful past For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Ponder is a rural town about 10 miles southwest of Denton. Originally named Gerald by the local railroad community in the late 1880s, the town was renamed Ponder after W.A. Ponder, a well-known landowner and banker.

A little known fact is fabled bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde attempted to rob Ponder State Bank, but realized the bank was no longer in business upon arrival.

Ponder boasts a population of 1,458 as of the 2013 census. It was in the low 400s in 1990.

Ponder Independent School District serves Ponder. There are two preschool academies, Lil Einstein’s Academy and Little Lions Learning Center. Ponder ISD is home to Ponder Elementary, Ponder Junior High and Ponder High.

Known for its boys basketball program, the Lions have won five Class 2A state titles since 2001, including a three-peat from 2008-2010. Head Coach Jude Stanley led the Lions to a bi-district championship before being upset by Dallas Faith Family Academy 50-44.

Senior guard Brady Anderson, a fouryear starter under Stanley, will continue his education and playing career at Texas A&M-Commerce.

Outdoor activities abound in Sanger

By Jimmy Isbell For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Founded in 1886, Sanger was a stop on the Santa Fe Railroad and was named after a family native to the town.

In 1920, Sanger erected a state highway connecting itself to Dallas, but fell into a decline after the railway waned in the early 1900s.

For outdoor lovers, Sanger is a great place to live. It is four miles wast of Lake Ray Roberts and is only 20 miles away from the Texas Motor Speedway. There are many recreational parks and youth sports organizations to participate in.

Sanger is served by the Sanger Independent School District. There are two high schools: Sanger and Linda Tutt High School. Two middle schools: Sanger Middle School and Clear Creek Intermediate.

The final two are Chisholm Trail and Butterfield Elementary Schools, which feed into a single sixth-grade campus.

Shady Shores offers quiet lifestyle

By Jimmy Isbell For the Denton Record-Chronicle

As one of four Lake Cities communities, Shady Shores is the smallest, covering just less than three square miles. The town does not have a stoplight, but has a large population for the small area (2,758).

Shady Shores wasn’t officially established until 1960, considering it started to build homes in 1932. General fees, donations from the residents, business and franchise fees fund the city’s tax money, road repairs and police and fire departments.

Served by the Denton and Lake Dallas Independent School District, Shady Shores is home to Stephens Elementary, Shady Shores Elementary and Bettye Myers middle school.
