Trophy Club, Texas
Trophy Club is a town located primarily in Denton County, Texas, United States (with a very small fraction extending into Tarrant County). It is an affluent suburb of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. When established in the 1970s, it was one of the earliest premier planned communities in Texas, built around the only golf course designed by Ben Hogan. It is located west of the DFW Airport and south of the western edge of Grapevine Lake, spanning the county line separating Denton and Tarrant along State Highway 114. The population was 13,688 in 2020.
Trophy Club's history dates back to 1847 when Charles and Matilda Medlin and twenty other families left the state of Missouri to settle in the then-thriving Elizabethtown, Texas. The Medlin's were part of the Peters Colony, a group of settlers in the 19th century that settled in various areas in Texas in hopes to acquire land grants. The families in Elizabethtown remained there until the Elizabeth Creek flooded, causing the families to relocate to higher ground. That area is now present-day Trophy Club.
The Medlins made a lasting impact on the development of the town, and a cemetery was constructed in honor of the Medlins' daughter, Mittie Ann Medlin. The middle school in Trophy Club was also named after the Medlins. The cemetery has information on the settlers that lived in the area.
Long after the time of the Medlins, citizens of DFW began talk about restoring the town. Eventually, the community was developed in 1973 by developers Johnson and Loggins, who created the community as a housing development surrounding the country club. The town was named for the original plan that the country club would house the trophy collections of golf legend Ben Hogan, who designed its golf course. Originally part of Westlake, the town was incorporated in 1985. The first Mayor of Trophy Club was James "Jim" P. Carter, who served as Mayor from 1985 until 1999.
Trophy Club is located on the southwestern edge of Grapevine Lake. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 4.1 square miles (10.5 km2), of which 75% is land and 25% water.
Trophy Club, like the rest of the Dallas–Fort Worth area, has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.
As of the 2020 census, Trophy Club had a population of 13,688.
The median age was 41.2 years. 28.1% of residents were under the age of 18 and 13.3% were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females, there were 99.8 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.8 males age 18 and over.
