Region: Prairies and Lakes
The city's history traces back to the early 1900s, when it was formed as the
result of the San Francisco Railroad being built through the area. The shortened
name "Frisco" was used for this railroad line, and thus, the city name was
formed. Today, it is one of the fastest growing cities in Texas, about 20 miles
north of Dallas.
Two bronze cattle drive sculptures depict days of the Shawnee Trail, part of
Frisco's early heritage. These outdoor artworks can be seen
year-round.
