About us

Garland is where things are made. Products, careers and opportunities are made here. Friendships that last a lifetime are made here, and generations of families have made this part of Texas their home. As early as the mid-1800s, settlers began arriving in what is now Garland. The pioneers found the black soil ideal for cotton and the communities of Duck Creek and Embree thrived on that crop. In 1886, two railroad lines built depots in the area. Eventually those two communities combined and became Garland, officially incorporated in 1891. Garland enjoys a rich history that has shaped it into the thriving metropolitan-area city that offers its residents and businesses a high quality of life, excellent educational and workforce development opportunities, and is enhanced by community leadership and partners. Garland is proud of its affordable and business-friendly climate.

    The new Surf & Swim Aquatics Facility construction is expected to start this summer adjacent to Audubon Recreation Center, 342 W. Oates Road. The new facility will have a winding lazy river, a tranquil leisure pool, an aquatic playground, a dedicated children’s pool, three new waterslides and shade structures. The revitalized Surf & Swim will also include a party room for celebrating birthdays and other special events, and a concession stand. The existing Surf & Swim facility, built in 1984, will be demolished. While we wait for this incredible facility to be completed, it’s important to know the places in Garland that are open and ready to provide you with a fun space to enjoy the water and stay cool … like the splash pads at Wynne, Embree and Watson parks. There is also a brand-new water feature at the Downtown Square.
