Our Great City

The Southlake Historical Society was created in 1992 when area residents answered the call of an ad placed in the Grapevine Sun newspaper. Local resident Gary Fickes challenged readers to create a preservation group as a way to gather and preserve Southlake's history.

Since that time the Southlake Historical Society members have archived historical materials including scanning historical photos, gathered oral history interviews, helped in the research of both family and area business
histories, developed programs for teachers and students, and worked as the community advocacy group to preserve and protect Southlake's history.

The Southlake Historical Society meets at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of each month in the Community Center meeting room in Bicentennial Park, 400 N. White Chapel, in Southlake.
