Frisco, TX | The History

When wagon trains began bringing settlers to the area, many of them followed what would become known as the Shawnee Trail. This route stretched from Missouri to Austin, and Texas drovers moved herds along this route from the 1840s until the early 1870s. During the Civil War, the Shawnee Trail was used by both sides to move troops and supplies. Eventually, what is now known as Preston Road was built along a section of the old Shawnee Trail.

Along this trail, the small community of Lebanon grew up on Preston Ridge, and in 1860, it was granted a post office. For a while, Lebanon continued to grow; by 1890, it had a blacksmith, a flour mill, a cotton gin and several other businesses.

Upon learning in the late 1890s that the Frisco line planned to lay tracks in the area, Lebanon hoped that the route would pass through the town. However, steam engines needed watering stops, and Lebanon’s elevation was deemed too high to be effective. Instead, the railroad decided to place the watering stop on lower ground about four miles from Lebanon. A banker from McKinney named Francis Emerson owned the land chosen for the new site, and he vowed that he would ensure that the new town received a national bank if the town was named in his honor. The new community was named Emerson, the bank never materialized and the post office objected to the name because it was too similar to a town already existing in Lamar County called Emberson. Therefore, when the town received a post office in 1902, the townspeople chose to honor the railroad and named the town Frisco City. Later, the name was shortened, and the town was officially renamed Frisco.

During its early years, Frisco received an influx of businesses and residents from Lebanon. Many of these people physically moved their buildings and homes to Frisco, and by 1910, the town had 332 residents. The economic base was primarily related to agriculture. Farmers shipped their products from Frisco, purchased their supplies in the town and used the grain elevators and cotton gins that had been built soon after Frisco was established. Gradually, however, Frisco was transformed into a suburb of Dallas.
