City of Frisco history

In the year 1904, the residents were seen choosing the Frisco City as its name that came in the honor of St Louis–San Francisco Railway which gave birth to the town and later reduced to its present name.

In 1905, the post office of Lebanon was closed down.

The Frisco Fire Department was established in 1914, with Roy Northcutt serving as its first chief.

The first fire truck was a 1918 Ford Model T. The truck's brass bell has been preserved and is on display at the department's Central Fire Station.

A second fire truck was purchased in 1923, a Stutz Bearcat, which had a siren and carried hoses to fight fire with water rather than chemicals.

In 1940 a new Ford Pumper was acquired at a cost of $3,500.

However, moving forward, Frisco grew slowly -- the population in 1960 reaching only 1184.

As Dallas, Plano and Fort Worth began to grow, however, Frisco's population grew to 3499 by 1980.

With a focus on literacy and intellectual freedom, the Frisco Public Library first came to fruition in 1991 in a small building staffed solely by volunteers.

By 2000 the number of people had grown to 33,714, and today's population is 150,000 and growing.

Unlike a number of suburbs found in Dallas, Frisco has been known to give a number of retail properties like Stonebriar Centre, IKEA opened in the year 2005 and a 165-store regional mall.

In late 2006, Frisco's new Central Fire Station and Frisco Fire Safety Town opened.

Frisco, TX was the fastest growing city in the United States in 2017 and today boasts a population of over 150,000.
