Settlers from Kentucky and Tennessee came to the Richardson area in the 1840s. Through the 1850s the settlement was located around current day Richland College. After the Civil War a railroad was built northwest of the original settlement, shifting the village’s center closer to the railroad. Richardson was chartered in 1873 and the town was named after railroad contractor E.H. Richardson. In 1908 an electric railway, know as the Interurban, connected Richardson to Denison, Waco, Corsicana and Fort Worth, Texas.

By 2002 Richardson had four Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) light rail stations, built the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations and the adjacent Galatyn Park urban center, which has a two-acre public pedestrian plaza, a luxury hotel and mixed-use development.

As of 2010 the city has continued to be recognized every year since 2004 including one of the best places to live in Texas and the United States as well as one of the safest cities in America.

Bridgewater Crossing, offering you both an exclusive neighborhood and a classic lifestyle, is an ideal place for you and your family to make new friends. It is a tranquil place to live with almost every type of recreational activity close at hand. It is a serene place to call home with superior schools, excellent shopping, and a wide choice of cultural events close to home. Bridgewater Crossing is 3 minutes from the President George Bush Turnpike and 7 minutes from Central Expressway (US-75). Plano and downtown Dallas can be reached in 5 and 20 minutes, respectively. Love Field Airport can be reached in just 30 minutes, while Dallas/Fort Worth International is just 30 minutes from your new home. Also, the City of Richardson’s strategic location with major area highways provides convenient access for workers commuting into Richardson, the second largest employment center in the DFW Metroplex.

The City of Richardson produces some of the country’s top rated and most anticipated events. From award-winning fine art festivals to rock concerts to a fireworks show that paints the sky in your new back yard at Bridgewater Crossing, Breckinridge Park. Richardson is also home of the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations, a performance hall which opened in September 2002. The center is named for local philanthropist, Charles W. Eisemann. Known locally as the “Eisemann Center”, the center is an important component of the cultural and corporate landscapes of the North Texas region, and has been labeled as one of the leading performing arts facilities serving the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

You will live and entertain with pride in Bridgewater Crossing!
