A Little History of Frisco, Texas

Born of western spirit, during the days of massive cattle drives in the 1800's, as a tiny watering hole and whistle stop, first along the Shawnee Trail and then along the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad. It is from this railroad that "Frisco" got her name.

Settlers first came to this area, following buffalo herds and camping near natural springs, while traveling the Shawnee Trail. The settlement of Lebanon (later incorporated into Frisco city boundaries) became an assembly point where cattlemen would meet and plan their trail drives.

The origin of the railroad that gave birth to Frisco began in 1849 in the state of Missouri. The Pacific Railroad Company was granted a charter to build a line from St. Louis to the western boundary of Missouri. Fifty-three years later, the line had become a part of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad.

With fewer and fewer cattle drives, businesses and residents began moving toward land with rail access.  Some, like  T.J. Campbell who literally placed his home on logs and rolled it into the city where it still stands as a historical monument, physically moved their houses from Preston Road to what is now downtown Frisco
