City of Plano
The community of Plano originated in the early 1840's in the Republic of Texas. Most of the early pioneers migrated from Kentucky and Tennessee as small groups of settlers found their way to Collin County's black land prairie. Population in 1900 was 1304 and currently it is approx. 265,000. Today Plano is the headquarters of several large corporations including Frito-Lay, J.C. Penney, EDS, Ameri-Plan, and soon to be Pizza Hut. Many are located in the Legacy Business Park. Plano is well noted for their schools. Shop and dine in the revitalized downtown shopping district, The Shops at Willow Bend and Collin Creek Mall. Here you can also visit South Fork Ranch.
City of McKinney
You will travel 30 miles North on Central Expressway from Dallas to find McKinney, one of the faster growing communities in the nation. Ranked #9 in the top 10 Best Places to Move in the U.S. by Forbes.com, McKinney has the feel of a small Texas town but all of the amenities that one would expect in a big town. Shopping is a wonderful experience in the McKinney downtown square where you can hunt for antiques then stop in to Lone Star Wine Cellers for a delightful glass or two of local wine. On the weekend before the third Monday of the month, pay a visit to Third Mondays Trades Days to shop flea market style. The elements that have made McKinney unique in the past are the beautiful tree-lined streets with historic homes, gently rolling hills and other natural wonders, a safe environment, outstanding educational opportunities and health-care options, a robust business climate and an appreciation for the arts, an abundance of shops and restaurants, a storybook downtown and a strong sense of community. Check out the schools.
City of Allen
Located off Central Expressway going North from Dallas, you will find the city of Allen. European and American immigrants began arriving in 1844 but the Houston and Texas Central Railroad (H&TC), constructed through Allen in 1872, laid out the original township of Allen. Today there are approximately 84,333 residents living there. Enjoy shopping at the Premium Outlets Mall.
