Editing Shady Shores, Texas (section)

==History==
{{unsourced|section|date=October 2024}}
There was a Shady Shores Independent School in 1912. In the mid-1920s, John William Franck, a [[Dallas]] contractor, built a fishing camp with about ten wood-shingle cabins on the northern shores of Lake Dallas. He had this in mind as a weekend retreat for Dallas residents.  In the 1930s, many of the fishing camps were torn down and replaced by permanent homes, a number of which are still standing.

The community thrived, and in 1932, a nearby subdivision called Shady Shores began construction. The lake was enlarged in the late 1950s, becoming what is now known as [[Lewisville Lake]]. In 1960, the city leaders decided to incorporate – mostly to escape being annexed by [[Denton, Texas|Denton]] – and the subdivision's name became the name of a newly formed town.  Up until 2000, when tax collection began, money for road repairs and police and fire protection came from fees from building permits, franchise fees, pancake suppers and donations from the residents.
