History
The area that is now Hackberry was originally a rural community along the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake in Denton County. Before incorporation, the settlement consisted primarily of scattered homes and unpaved roads.
Hackberry was officially incorporated as a Type B General Law municipality in 1983, following a vote by local residents seeking improved infrastructure and municipal services. In 2001, the city transitioned to a Type A city under Texas law, granting expanded governing authority.
After incorporation, Hackberry undertook significant infrastructure projects, including the installation of water and sewer systems, paving of roads, and development of municipal facilities. The first city hall was constructed in 1987 and later relocated to a larger facility in 2012 to accommodate the growing population.
