Oak Leaf was a homeowners association that turned itself into a city
1983
Oak Leaf, Texas
About a hundred members of the Red Oak Creek Homeowners Association voted in August 1983 to incorporate rather than be annexed by a neighbour, and named the new city for the oaks on the land. It then grew the way it was founded, by subdivision: Little Creek and Lark Lane petitioned in in 1987, Willow Creek Farms in 1998, Chapman Ranch Estates in 2000. The 2020 census counted 1,552 people.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
Location: city-level
