Where the past meets the present
Cedar Hill, first known as the cedar brakes, was founded in 1846 by a small group of settlers from the Peters’ Colony. They traveled to the Dallas area of North Texas on horseback and by ox-drawn wagon following trails beaten into existence by Indians, buffalo and explorers. They came seeking a place to build their homes, to socialize, worship and conduct business.
Our forefathers turned this rugged territory into the thriving city it is today through hard work, ingenuity, foresight and sheer determination - a city steeped in family values, tradition and rich in history.
