University Park

Few cities in Texas have a history as closely tied to the establishment of Southern Methodist University as University Park. Incorporated in 1924, this independent municipality grew around the university’s campus and remains surrounded by the city of Dallas. It lies on the Blackland Prairie of North Texas, a rolling urban region historically shaped by its dark, fertile soils. SMU’s landmark Dallas Hall, completed in 1915, gives the campus a formal collegiate character, while the George W. Bush Presidential Center adds a major public institution to the area.
