Cedar Shores is an unincorporated community in Bosque County, in the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 170 in 2000.
William Holloman, the owner of the American Resort Development, contributed to the development of the community in the 1960s by convincing people to buy lake houses along the shores of Lake Whitney. It was originally named Cedar Shores Estates for the surrounding landscape and covered 700acres of land. Lake houses covered 400acres, while the other 300acres were used for swimming and picnic areas, playgrounds, and marinas. Its population was 150 in 1970 and grew to 170 from 1980 through 2000. Its name was changed to Cedar Shores in 2000.[1]
Cedar Shores is located off Farm to Market Road 56, 10miles east of Meridian in eastern Bosque County.[1]
Cedar Shores is served by the Morgan Independent School District.
