Desoto

Desoto was first settled in 1847, making it one of the oldest communities in North Texas. A post office was established in 1881 and the settlement was named DeSoto in honor of Thomas Hernando DeSoto, a doctor dedicated to the community. After World War II, DeSoto and surrounding areas began to grow. There are many high quality apartments in Desoto . On March 3, 1949 Desoto was incorporated with less than one square mile of area. Today however, it has grown to over twenty times its original size. A beloved centerpiece of the Desoto community is the Town Center. Since its opening, the Town Center has become an anchor, housing city hall, the public library and chamber of commerce, along with civic and recreation centers. There is also a 180-seat auditorium and outdoor amphitheater that allows residents to congregate and attend events as a community. On June 11, 2006, the National Civic League named DeSoto an " All-America City". Desoto has a healthy mix of 1 bedroom apartments, 2 bedroom apartments, and 3 bedroom apartments. The All-America City Award is the nation's oldest community recognition program and recognizes those whose citizens work together to identify and tackle community-wide challenges and achieve uncommon results Desoto has loft apartments, townhouse style apartments, and apartments with hardwood or concrete flooring.

One would think that such strong community bonds would only exist in a small town, but with approximately 45,500 residents as of 2005, DeSoto is the largest and most diverse city in southwest Dallas County! Diversity and brotherhood make Desoto an uncommonly great place to live.
