History

The land that now encompasses Hideaway was originally included in the large plantation owned by Texas governor Richard B. Hubbard. [http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/HH/hgh13.html Hideaway, TX] - Handbook of Texas Online] Later, the land was purchased by developer James Fair. In 1967, Fair planned and developed the land, naming it "Hide-A-Way Lake." [ [http://www.hideawaylaketexas.com/hawl.php "Hideaway, Texas"] ] The community was slated to contain 1,350 acres with a total 1,944 residential lots. In 2000, the community, then managed by Hideaway Homeowners, Inc. (which is the HOA) and Hideaway Lake Club, Inc. (which operates the golfing facilities) merged, forming a municipal corporation known as Hideaway Lake Club, Inc.
