Plano, Texas City Info

Raising livestock was the principal business in the county, more and more of the populace began farming the rich, black land. Churches and schools were built and local business began to prosper. In the closing years of the 1850s growth was steady, but this halted with the arrival of the Civil War. From 1861-1864, the growth of Plano was at a standstill. As the South would surrender in defeat, the men began to return to Plano to pick up their run-down farms and persist again to open more business and trade to attract new people to the area. New people came from the mechanized North as well as the South to escape their gutted communities and farms to start a new life. 

With the completion of the Houston and Texas Railroad in 1872, the city was on its way to new growth. By 1874 the population numbered over 500. Plano was the first depot by rail entering Collin County by the south. The city was incorporated in June, 1873, and the town's first official mayor was C.J.E. Kellner. Fires in the business district destroyed the original buildings that were constructed with the coming of the railroad; the oldest structure in the district was the only building to survive the fire of 1881 in which 51 places of business were destroyed--the entire business district. Plano's determined businessmen would not be beaten, however, and after a short time of "business as usual," the reconstruction period began. Old burned and wooden structures were replaced with modern brick buildings and a new look of prosperity took place. Buildings and business flourished in the 1880's. Almost anything would be bought or traded in Plano. 

Throughout much of this century Plano relied on surrounding farms and ranches for its livelihood. By the 1960s, the growth of both Dallas to the south and the success of several large high-technology firms began to make their influence felt on the local economy and city planners began making preparations for the growth they believed was inevitable. When the U.S. population began its historic shift in the 1970s, Plano welcomed newcomers with open arms and this resulted in Plano being one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas and the U.S. 

Today Plano looks and is much changed from the city of just a generation ago, but the growth of the city and the nature of its spirit can be traced back to those first settlers who came to the area 150 years ago.
