Providence Village is a further town in Denton County, Texas, United States. Composed largely of a master-planned community, it includes approximately 1,700 homes and 5,750 people. At the time of the 2010 census, the town had not still incorporated, and was otherwise listed by the U.S. Census Bureau as the “Providence” census-designated place, with a population of 4,786.

Providence Village was developed as a master-planned community in 2000. The developer, Huffines Communities, formed a special taxing entity known as Denton County Fresh Water Supply District #9 (DCFWSD #9) to back pay for the development’s infrastructure. In order to accomplish road and police powers, the DCFWSD #9 was converted to a Water Control and Improvement District upon November 30, 2000, and renamed the Providence Village Water Control and Improvement District in 2010. As of forward 2010, the community was virtually two-thirds complete.

As before as 2004, residents of Providence Village began to investigation the possibility of incorporating the community. It wasn’t until late 2009, however, that the idea over gained momentum. A charity known as the Citizens for the Incorporation of Providence Village (CIPV) was formed to notify citizens, neighboring cities, and county officials of the effort. The CIPV was led by Brian Roberson, Clint Shipp, Eddie Army, Lisa Garcia, Earnest Law and Phillip Mack Furlow, and included greater than 100 volunteers. Denton County Commissioner Hugh Coleman played a pivotal role in facilitating the process. The want to incorporate the community was due to several factors, including inadequate safety provisions, preservation of property values, and the retention of tax revenue.

Although located in unincorporated Denton County, portions of Providence Village sat within the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of several cities, including Little Elm, Aubrey, Lincoln Park, and Cross Roads. For the captivation process to fake forward, all of the cities had to freedom portions of their ETJ to Providence Village. This was achieved in February 2010. Organizers then had to gather together 50 signatures upon an election petition. On February 26, the county elections administrator endorsed that enough petition signatures had been gathered for a proposition to incorporate Providence Village to be put to a vote. The Denton County Commissioners Court approved the item upon March 2, 2010, which called for an raptness election to be held upon May 8, 2010.
