The Seis Lagos Community is located in Lucas, Texas, but outside the city municipality, in the extraterritorial jurisdiction. The State designates certain areas as the extraterritorial jurisdiction of municipalities to promote and protect the general health, safety, and welfare of persons residing in and adjacent to the municipalities.
It is in the southern part of the county, bordered to the north, west, and south by the city limits of Lucas. It is 29 miles (47 km) northeast of the center of Dallas. As suggested by the name, six lakes have been built into the rolling terrain of the community.
History
The name of the community is Spanish for "Six Lakes", revealing its proximity to numerous water bodies,[5] which, to the present day remain an important part of community life.[6]
Seis Lagos was developed by Joe Duncan, the original owner of Southfork Ranch. He built his family home in 1970, which, along with his ranch, were featured in the 1970s and 1980s television show Dallas. Seis Lagos was developed by Joe Duncan with Duncan Developments.
Earnest home constructions, however, did not begin until the 1990s. The first phase of construction erected 199 homes and was completed in the mid-1990s.[7] The second phase added 57 homes in 2001.[7] Phase III of the same year added 71 homesites on 55 acres in the southeastern regions of the community territory.[7] The final phase plans to add about 70 homes to the south.[7]
