'''Southlake''' is a city located predominantly in [[Tarrant County, Texas|Tarrant County]] with minor areas extending into [[Denton County, Texas|Denton County]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.county.org/about-texas-counties/county-data/Documents/towns.html|title=Population of Texas Cities and Towns Sorted by County|publisher=The County Information Project Texas Association of Counties|access-date=March 16, 2015|archive-date=May 7, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150507130036/http://www.county.org/about-texas-counties/county-data/Documents/towns.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> in the U.S. state of [[Texas]]. Southlake is a suburb of [[Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex|Dallas/Fort Worth]]. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], it had a population of 31,265.

==History==
The Southlake area was settled in the 1840s but was not incorporated as '''Southlake''' until 1956, four years after the construction of [[Grapevine Lake]] was completed.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://southlakehistory.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=27 | title=Southlake Historical Society, City of Southlake History &#124; Southlake TX }}</ref> Before incorporation, the settlements of Whites Chapel, Dove, Union Church, and Jellico made up present-day Southlake. The nearby town of Hurst had intended to annex the area that is now Southlake in 1956, but residents voted on Sept. 25, 1956 to form the town of Southlake. Anthony Gail Eubanks was elected the first mayor, and his daughter chose the name Southlake due to its proximity to the newly completed Grapevine Lake.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://southlakehistory.org/history-of-southlake/founding-of-southlake/|title=Founding of Southlake |last=Cooley |first=Connie |last2=Robeson |first2=Anita |date=2023 |website=Southlake Historical Society |access-date=2 July 2023}}</ref> The area remained rural until the completion of the [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport|DFW International Airport]] in the 1970s. Due to the close proximity to the airport, Southlake became a [[boomburb]] throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|22.5|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|21.9|sqmi|km2}} is land and {{convert|0.6|sqmi|km2}}  (2.45%) is water.
