History

Prior to the city's incorporation, German farmers settled the area and built sawmills to process local lumber. A 1936 county highway map states that the area had scattered residences near one of its sawmills. In the mid-1950s, effort to form a Spring Branch municipality failed. The city incorporated in December 1954 with a mayor-council government. In 1962 the city had 2,216 people. By 1966 Bunker Hill Village became affluent and had two public schools and two churches. In 1981, 4,442 people lived in Bunker Hill Village. The historic William L. Thaxton Jr. House is located within the city limits, which was designed by world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
