History

Trophy Club’s history dates back to 1847 when Charles and Matilda Medlin and twenty other families left the state of Missouri to settle in the then-thriving Elizabethtown, Texas. The Medlin’s were part of the Peters Colony, a group of settlers in the 19th century that settled in various areas in Texas in hopes to acquire land grants. The families in Elizabethtown remained there until the Elizabeth Creek flooded, causing the families to relocate to higher ground. That area is now present-day Trophy Club.

The Medlins made a lasting impact on the development of the town, and a cemetery was constructed in honor of the Medlins’ daughter, Mittie Ann Medlin. The middle school in Trophy Club was also named after the Medlins.

The cemetery also provides information on the existence of the settlers that were in the area at the time.

Long after the time of the Medlins, citizens of DFW began talk about restoring the town. Eventually, the community was developed in 1973 by developers Johnson and Loggins, who created the community as a housing development surrounding the country club. The town was named for the original plan that the country club would house the trophy collections of golf legend Ben Hogan, who designed its golf course. Originally part of Westlake, the town was incorporated in 1985. The first Mayor of Trophy Club was James “Jim” P. Carter, who served as Mayor from 1985 until 1999.
