Lakewood has always served as an important suburb of the Dallas community. Located just Northeast of downtown Dallas, Lakewood, with diversity and history like no other, is one of the most beautiful and interesting areas of Dallas. In the 19th century, as the city of Dallas continued to grow through the means of economic prosperity, many families began to leave the city and move to East Dallas, which eventually evolved into a town with its own mayor, city council, and infrastructure. In 1890, East Dallas was annexed as a way to increase the population of the city of Dallas.
However, this annexation did not slow the expansion of East Dallas and the Lakewood area, but instead expanded it further towards White Rock Lake. The lake would become one of the popular recreation areas within the city and soon beautiful homes and country clubs were developed in the area. Lakewood earned its name due to its location between the wooded, hilly section between Abrams Road and White Rock Lake, which became the main water supply for the city of Dallas.
In 1926, the Lakewood Shopping Center would become one of the largest economic hubs, which would be taken advantage of by major employers like the Ford Motor Company. After the Depression and WWII, housing and shopping centers moved North, causing Lakewood to fall into urban decay in the 1960s. However, a turnaround began in the 1970s when urban pioneers were attracted to the area due to the low prices of homes and the architectural style. Neighborhood groups were formed and began working together for change, which was soon achieved and encouraged families to move back to the area and set roots. Today, the Lakewood area is once again Dallas’s most popular place to call home!
