  • Annual Report WELCOME // Letter from the President
    2020 // Annual Report WELCOME // Letter from the President The historical events of 2020 have left an indelible impact on our community as the way we live and work dramatically changed in the blink of an eye. Disruption and adaption became the new normal as we navigated our way through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and a global recession. Despite the challenges, I am proud that the Las Colinas Association was able to remain a consistent presence and resource for our members. The LCA maintained uninterrupted services despite the need to make significant operational adjustments including many of our office staff working from home. Similarly, we advanced several projects that you will most certainly notice during 2021. As more residents than ever took the opportunity to explore the promenade, canals, and trail connections of the Urban Center, the LCA debuted the new Urban Center foot and bike patrol in December 2020. The new patrol will serve as ambassadors of Las Colinas for the Urban Center’s many visitors and residents as well as support the LCA’s traditional vehicular security. Additionally, the LCA secured an agreement with the City of Irving to install community wayfinding signage within the Urban Center. Signage for the program is currently in the manufacturing stage and we expect to begin placement by early summer 2021. While the pandemic delayed construction of the Paws Colinas dog park, a joint project between the City of Irving and the LCA, completion is anticipated in late spring 2021. The seven-acre dog park will feature separate sections for large and small breeds, shade, water facilities, and access to Campion Trail.

  • The Estelle Community Was Located on What Is Now Largely DFW Airport Property Along the Dallas-Tarrant County Line in What Today Is Western Irving
    Estelle Community The Estelle community was located on what is now largely DFW Airport property along the Dallas-Tarrant County line in what today is western Irving. The community evolved during the second half of the nineteenth century from scattered farms on the Grapevine Prairie. Henry Burgoon received a land grant from the state of Texas and came to the area in 1853. Early Estelle area farmers raised wheat, corn, and cotton. Through the years, Estelle grew to be a shipping point for area crops because it was on a stage route between Grapevine and Dallas. At its height, the community had a steam cotton gin, two churches, a blacksmith shop, a school, and a general store. The Bear Creek Baptist Church, one of the oldest churches in Dallas County, was founded in the Estelle area in 1853 and operates today in Irving as First Baptist Church-Las Colinas. Bryant and Ryan Harrington came to the Estelle area shortly after the Civil War. The brothers amassed large land holdings on which they raised cattle and farmed. In 1883, the Harringtons donated land for a community school and Masonic lodge. Area residents built a two-story frame building on the land. The first floor was used as a school and the second as the Estelle Masonic Lodge. In 1916, the community built a two-story brick schoolhouse on the same piece of land. During the 1920s, the school began offering only grades 1-7. High school students attended Irving High School, which was about seven miles to the southeast. In 1881, the community received a post office to serve the population of about 600 from the area farms.
