== History ==
The history of Wynnewood is inextricably connected with the development of suburban living in post-World War II America. Indeed, Wynnewood is the southern equivalent of famous Levittown, New York, a planned community with which Wynnewood is exactly contemporaneous. But the parallels do not end there.
Just as Levittown was named after Levitt and Sons, the company that planned and built the suburb, so Wynnewood carries the name of the Wynne family. The that were to become Wynnewood were originally purchased in 1913 by the American Home Realty Company, but remained undeveloped until the 1940s; at that point the company was acquired by Toddie Lee Wynne, Sr., and Benjamin Hick Majors. When Wynne’s nephew Angus Gilchrist Wynne, Jr., returned from the war, he was appointed president of American Home Realty. His task was to take advantage of the post-war boom, which created a propitious time for housing development.〔See (Wynnewood Scrapbook ).〕
Construction took place in several phases. It started in March, 1946, in the triangle marked by Illinois, Bristol, and Garapan.〔See ''The Dallas Morning News'' (February 26, 1946), Section II, p. 1; (March 5, 1946), Section II, p. 1.〕 The very first homes to be completed were those on Veasy Street (later renamed Wynnewood Drive). The first resident to occupy a Wynnewood home was J. D. Jones of 2342 Veasy.〔See ''The Oak Cliff Tribune'' (April 11, 1947), Section II, p. 1.〕 The entire development was largely complete by 1954.
