History
Horseshoe Bay citizens voted to incorporate as a Class A City under Texas law on September 10, 2005. The boundaries of the city followed those of the Lake LBJ Municipal Utility District, with the exception of The Trails and a 20-acre parcel on the corner of Highway 71 and Ranch Road 2821. These were not included because they were annexed shortly after incorporation.
