The history of Cedar Crest began in 1916. Cedar Crest was first developed as a private country club in 1916. In 1919 when the club was chartered, the trustees were Robert Shelton, Raymond Thomas, and George Reynolds. All of this area that is known as Cedar Crest Golf Course was part of the original survey of 640 acres granted by the State of Texas to Lorenzo Van Cleve as a Peters Colony land grant. Alabama native William Brown Miller came to Texas in 1846 and purchased this land and additional acres for $1.00 an acre. Miller with his family and slaves built first a log house and second a large home known as Millermore, now at Old City Park.



Sol Dreyfuss laid out the club. The 18-hole golf course was designed by A. W. Tillinghast. Always interested in sports, Dreyfuss once owned the Dallas Baseball Team during the 1930s. He was the Secretary-Treasurer of Dreyfuss and Son, one of the first men's clothing stores in downtown Dallas. Sol's sister, Hortense, married Lawrence Pollock. Sol was the Vice President of the Pollock Paper Company.
