ALLANDALE HISTORY

The land (3154 acres) that is now Allandale was given to George W. Davis in 1841 by Mirabeau Lamar, President of the REPUBLIC OF TEXAS, for services in the BATTLE at SAN JACINTO.

Most of the land has been sold off. Some homes date back to the 1930's which at that time was considered a suburb and outside the city limits. Most of the major development started in the mid 1950's, growing to what is now this thriving community.

Have they built a new lake/pond in Allendale? Where was the photo taken? It looks more like the old quarry off north Mopac close to Duval.

Betina,

It is in Northwest District Park along Shoal Creek Blvd. It is about the size of a baseball infield, with a few ducks, small fish and turtles. Very peaceful with plenty of shade trees around.

Thanks,

Phillip
