About McKinney, TX

On March 24, 1849, William Davis, who owned 3,000 acres (12 km 2) where McKinney now stands, donated 120 acres (0.49 km 2) for the townsite. Ten years later, McKinney incorporated, and in 1913, the town adopted the commission form of government. For the first 125 years of its history, McKinney served as the principal commercial center for the county. The county seat provided farmers with flour, corn, and cotton mills, cotton gins, a cotton compress, and a cottonseed oil mill, as well as banks, churches, schools, newspapers, and from the 1880s, an opera house. Businesses also came to include a textile mill, an ice company, a large dairy, and a garment-manufacturing company.
