Scope and Content

Dallas was incorporated as a town in 1856 and as a city in 1871. The city has annexed land continuously throughout its history; a bulk of the annexations occurred in the mid-20th Century.

Collection consists primarily of plat maps for tracts of land annexed, and some disannexed, by the City of Dallas between 1890 and 1956. Maps are the original attachments for annexation ordinances kept in the City Secretary's Office. The maps are primarily from the 1940s and 1950s and highlight tracts of land, including such information as ordinance number and date of annexation. Annexed areas are shown in shading.

The collection is useful in identifying the rough boundaries of unincorporated areas now within Dallas, such as Reinhardt, Vickery, and Bon Ton. Especially notable is documentation of Love Field in 1917 as a US Army pilot training camp. Love Field was later purchsed by the City in 1927 as a municipal airport. The collection also contains photocopies of Dallas County Commissioners Court records regarding the incorporation of the City of Oak Cliff. Oak Cliff was Incorporated in 1891 and was annexed into the City of Dallas in 1903.
