Blue Mound, Texas

Blue Mound is a city in Tarrant County, Texas, United States.

The community's history dates back to the 1920s, when Scottish immigrant John Kennedy established Globe Laboratories, Inc. to produce serum to immunize cattle against blackleg, a disease that affected calves under two years of age.

The settlement was initially known as Saginaw Park, but later took the name Blue Mound after a nearby hill.

That figure had risen to 1,283 by 1970 and 2,169 in 1980 as the city became a bedroom community for those employed in Fort Worth and the surrounding area.
