Originally incorporated as a municipality
in 1939 and provisioned by the Preston Road Fresh Water
Supply District, the North Dallas town of Preston Hollow
was named for the deep wooded area with creeks and
hollows extending westward from Preston Road. Preston
Hollow originally extended from east of Preston Road,
slightly north of Walnut Hill Lane, west of Midway Road
and southwest of Northwest Highway. In 1945 Preston
Hollow residents voted to join with the city of Dallas
and the municipality was annexed to Dallas shortly
thereafter. In 1956, the neighborhood association's
covenant stated that only white residents were allowed
to live in Preston Hollow. This policy, though never
legally enforced, was repealed in 2000.
The approximate two-square mile area lying north of
Northwest Highway, south of Walnut Hill Lane, east of
Midway Road and west of Preston Road remain the
essential original boundaries of Preston Hollow, which
is often now termed Old Preston Hollow.However, the
neighborhood is broadly defined by real estate
professionals for marketing purposes as land to the
north of Northwest Highway (Loop 12), south of Royal
Lane, east of Midway Road and west of North Central
Expressway (US 75), which areas are grouped into the
Preston Hollow Elementary school attendance zone.
Preston Hollow is known as one of the wealthiest areas
of Dallas. It is also one of the wealthiest areas in
Texas. Within Old Preston Hollow can be found some of
the most expensive homes in Texas as well as some of the
state's wealthiest residents
