Located in the state of Texas, Garland boasts a population of over 246,000 and is part of the thriving Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Easily accessible with two Dart Blue Line stations and public buses connecting to downtown Dallas, it remains one of the largest cities within its county. With steady growth since 2010 when census reported 226k residents ,Garland continues to offer an attractive environment for businesses while providing convenient access between urban amenities and suburban life.

The thriving area of Garland, Texas began with the influx of immigrants in 1850 to what was known as Peters Colony. After two towns sprang up – Embree and Duck Creek – a rivalry between them ensued until Congressman Joe Abbott settled the dispute by moving the post office to an intermediary location near both towns; this new town became known as Garland after Augustus Hill Garland, former U.S Attorney General.

Throughout the 2000s, Garland witnessed several exciting additions to their cityscape. In 2003, Hawaiian Falls waterpark opened its doors and gave residents a great way to beat the summer heat; offering an alternative after Wet ‘n Wild closed down in 1993. The bustling Curtis Culwell Center (formerly known as Special Events Center), with its array of arenas and conference facilities followed suit two years later in 2005 – shortly before Firewheel Town Centre debuted that October, bringing a Main Street-style mall experience owned by households name Simon Property Group!
