Westlake, Suburban municipality in Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, United States.
Westlake is a municipality spanning about 6.7 square miles across Denton and Tarrant counties, combining residential neighborhoods with office complexes and educational facilities. The town's landscape reflects this mix of housing and commercial areas, with different zones serving distinct purposes.
The settlement began in 1847 when Charles and Matilda Medlin arrived with twenty families, gradually transforming a ranch into a populated community. This founding set the stage for eventual incorporation as an official town in 1954.
Westlake Academy shapes community life through its International Baccalaureate program, drawing students from the region and beyond. The school serves as a central point for local education and community identity.
The town sits close to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and connects to major transportation routes through Texas State Highway 114. This location makes it straightforward to visit or pass through while traveling in the region.
A section of this town showcases architectural elements from Catalonia in the Entrada development, bringing Mediterranean character to this Texas city. This design choice creates an unexpected European feel within a typical American suburb.
