About Frisco

In 1841 a road was created by the Republic of Texas and named Preston Trail. The road was used as a link between Central and North Texas. Preston trail followed an ancient Indian trail from Mexico to central Texas. It ran through a town called Lebanon. In the early 1900’s most of the residents in Lebanon moved about 2 miles north to take advantage of a new railroad line called the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway.

After the move, land owner Francis Emerson promised to establish a bank in the new town only if the town was named after him. The name Emerson was denied by the Post Office Department. After failing to name the new town Emerson, Frisco City became the new name.

Frisco Texas is home to the mansion featured on the hit TV show Dallas.
