Addresses in Highland Park may use either "Dallas, Texas" or "Highland Park, Texas" as the city designation, although the United States Postal Service prefers the use of the "Dallas, Texas" designation for the sake of simplicity. This can be seen on the USPS website Zip Code finder when the town name (Highland Park) is replaced by the surrounding city (Dallas) name. This shows that the USPS recognizes the use of the "Highland Park, Texas" address designation, but that its automated mail sorter systems will group any mail addressed to a Highland Park address with mail addressed to a Dallas address in the same (or surrounding) zip code(s) http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/zcl_3_results.jsp. The same is true for University Park, Texas and for the nearby former town of Preston Hollow
which was incorporated into the City of Dallas in 1945.
Highland Park is also home to the Highland Park Village
shopping center.
, known as the Philadelphia Place Land Association, for an average price of $
377 an acre, with a total of $500,000. Henry Exall, an agent, intended to develop the land along Turtle Creek
, as Philadelphia Place, exclusive housing based on parkland areas in Philadelphia. He laid gravel roads, and dammed Turtle Creek, forming Exall Lake, before the Panic of 1893
brought a blow to his fortunes, halting development. Afterwards, he began a horse breeding farm. In the 1890s, Exall Lake was a common picnic destination for Dallas residents.
In 1906, John S. Armstrong
(the former partner of Thomas Marsalis
, the prominent developer of Oak Cliff), sold his meatpacking business, and invested his money in a portion of the former Philadelphia Place land, to develop it under the name of Highland Park. He chose this name as it was located on high land that overlooked downtown Dallas. Wilbur David Cook
, the landscape designer who had planned Beverly Hills, California
, and George E. Kessler, who had previously planned Fair Park and most of downtown Dallas
, were hired to design its layout in 1907 "as a refuge from an increasingly diverse city." Notably, twenty percent of the original land was set aside for parks. A second development in Highland Park was developed in 1910.
In 1913, Highland Park petitioned Dallas for annexation
, but was refused. The 500 residents voted to incorporate on November 29, 1913, and incorporation was granted in 1915, when its population was 1100. The first mayor of Highland Park was W. A. Fraser. A third and fourth development were added to the town in 1915 and 1917, respectively. In 1919, the city of Dallas sought to annex Highland Park, beginning a lengthy controversy that lasted until 1945. J W Bartholow led the fight to resist the annexation. The final major land development occurred in 1924. In 1931, Highland Park Village
was constructed, the first shopping center of its kind in the United States. The distinctive Moorish Style ornamental metalwork and lighting in Highland Park Village was created by Potter Art Metal Studios, a 90 year old custom metalwork company still in existence today.
Because of its location near Dallas, Highland Park had, by the early 1930s, developed a moderately large (8,400) population, with a few businesses. Eventually the school districts and newspapers of Highland Park and University Park were combined. In the 1940s, after the failure to annex Highland Park, Dallas began annexing the land surrounding it. Reaching a population high of just under 13,000 in the late 1950s, Highland Park afterwards grew only by building houses on the remaining vacant lots, and by the destruction of old buildings. Since 1990, Highland Park has maintained strict zoning ordinances. Known for its quality housing, the town still has many parks running along Turtle Creek and is home to the Dallas Country Club
.
The Highland Park Village became somewhat famous in the early 1980s when the popular television show Dallas used to shoot on location there.
According to the United States Census Bureau
, the town has a total area of 2.2 square miles (5.7 km²), all of it land.
Highland Park is about 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the center of Dallas.
As of the census
of 2000, there were 8,842 people, 3,585 households, and 2,412 families residing in the town. The population density
was 3,948.0 people per square mile (1,524.1/km²). There were 3,759 housing units at an average density of 1,678.4 per square mile (647.9/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 97.27% White, 0.90% African American, 0.14% Native American, 0.83% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.77% from other races
, and 0.60% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.73% of the population.
In terms of formal education, Highland Park is Texas' second best educated city, after its neighbor University Park
, with 76.6% of adults age 25 or older holding an associate degree or higher, and 74.7% of adult residents possessing a baccalaureate degree or higher.
There were 3,585 households; 33.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 60.6% were married couples
living together, 5.3% had a female householder with no husband present; 32.7% were non-families; 29.1% of all households were made up of individuals; and 9.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.46 and the average family size was 3.06.
In the town the population is spread out with 27.2% under the age of 18, 3.7% from 18 to 24, 24.8% from 25 to 44, 29.7% from 45 to 64, and 14.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 42 years. For every 100 females there were 87.3 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 82.4 males.
In 2000, the median income for a household in the town was $149,389, and the median income for a family was $200,001. Males had a median income of $100,000+ versus $43,594 for females. The per capita income
for the town was $97,008. About 1.6% of families and 3.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 2.5% (.025) of those under age 18 and 0.5% (.005) of those age 65 or over.
The town council authorized the purchasing of a fire engine and the construction of a fire house after the 1913 incorporation. The town hall was built in 1924. During the same year, a new fire station opened next to town hall. As time passed, the town hall received several renovations. One connected the town hall to the public safety building. In 2003 a portion of the public safety building was razed, and a new facility was built in its place.
Highland Park employs a public safety department instead of separate police and fire/EMS departments. The public safety officers are certified as firefighters, peace officers, and paramedics. They work 24 hour shifts (with the next two days off), varying their role during the shift. EMS medical direction is provided by the BioTel system through UT-Southwestern Medical School, which provides this service to the majority of fire/EMS departments in Dallas County.
Most of the city (areas east of Roland Avenue) is served by the Highland Park Independent School District
. The HPISD portion is served by McCulloch Middle School and Highland Park Middle School, which share a campus located partially in Highland Park and partially in University Park, and Highland Park High School
in nearby University Park
, which was ranked as the 15th best high school in the United States by the Jay Mathews Challenge Index used by Newsweek

Real Estate & Property Prices
In the Dallas area, Highland Park has earned a reputation for having some of the most expensive property prices. For Instance, in December of 2010 the average price of a home on the market in Highland Park was $1,202,369, a $958,088 steeper price tag than East Dallas's average of $244,281. This disparity may be due in part to the proximity of Southern Methodist University (SMU), the lush landscape, and a history of nepotistic fortunes preserved through the decades.Government and infrastructure
The Highland Park Town Hall houses municipal services. The first floor houses the general administrative offices, the Building Inspection Department, the Engineering Department, and the Utility Billing and Customer Service Department. The second floor houses the Town Council Chambers, the Finance Department, and Municipal Court. The Spanish Colonial architecture building was designed by Otto Lang and Frank Witchell, two architects. The Highland Park Department of Public Safety and the Highland Park Public Library are adjacent to the town hall.The town council authorized the purchasing of a fire engine and the construction of a fire house after the 1913 incorporation.
