Addison, TexasAddison is a town with a rich historical background. From as early as 1846, Addison and its residents have played a significant role in the development of Dallas and the surrounding communities. Designation of landmarks like Stonegate Hall and the Addison School Building, demonstrate the community's pride in its heritage. The City of Addison was incorporated on June 15, 1953, under an alder-manic form of government and was changed to the "Town of Addison" in 1982. Addison's first Mayor was M.W. Morris and the aldermen were Guy Dennis, Robert W. Wood, J.E. Julian, Jr., Dr. H.T. Nesbit and Seldon Knowles. In 1975, an election to allow liquor by the drink served in town was a major attribute to the expansion of businesses and restaurants. All combined, Addison's restaurants and eating establishments can seat over 20,000 patrons at one time. In 1978, the Town of Addison constructed its first town park, and by 1980 an aggressive beautification program was under way. Today, Addison's 118 acres of parks are some of the finest in Texas, each uniquely themed and beautifully landscaped. During the late 1970's and early 1980's, Addison experienced explosive growth. Today, the business and daytime population typically reaches up to 100,000 a day. The residential population has grown dramatically. There are 21 apartment complexes and over 1,500 single family homes and town homes all conveniently located within 4.5 square miles. Today, Addison's progressive Mayor and City Council members; professional Town staff; and the business and residential leaders have formed a partnership that is dedicated to making sure future development of Addison remains a step above standard, using quality as the touchstone for development.
