Garland: Industry, Firewheel, and a Suburb That Built Itself
Garland is a Dallas County city directly northeast of Dallas, with approximately 247,000 residents. The community was incorporated in 1891 as a consolidation of the separate settlements of Duck Creek and Embree, which had been competing for a post office. Industrial development beginning in the 1940s, driven in part by Continental Motors' wartime aircraft-engine production here, set the pattern for the city's economy. Kraft Foods, Hewlett-Packard, and Raytheon have all operated major facilities in Garland at various points.
The Firewheel Town Center, opened in 2005 on the northeast side, combines open-air retail with residential and office components in a pedestrian street grid. Downtown Garland, anchored by the Granville Arts Center and the DART Blue Line's Downtown Garland Station, has undergone a series of renovations since the early 2000s. The Plaza Theatre, originally opened in 1942, operates as a performing arts venue after a 2006 restoration.
Garland Independent School District serves most of the city and operates more than 70 campuses. Lake Ray Hubbard, a 22,000-acre reservoir formed by damming the East Fork of the Trinity River, borders the eastern edge of the city and supports recreational boating and residential development along the shoreline.
