Before incorporation, the settlements of Whites Chapel, Dove, Union Church and Jellico made up present day Southlake. 
The area remained rural until the completion of the DFW International Airport in the 1970s. 
Due to the close proximity to the airport, Southlake became a boom-burb throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. 
As of 2010, Southlake's population was at its full capacity of around 30,000 people.
