The History
How Frisco came to be.
The story behind this suburb, in plain language, as the Sharcom Realty Group team tells it to buyers who are just starting their search. Dates and figures are approximate and drawn from public histories; verify specifics before you rely on them.
Frisco began in 1902 as a stop on the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, renamed for the railroad itself, and incorporated in 1908 as a small farming town.
Development arrived with the Dallas North Tollway in the 1980s and accelerated through the 2000s as master-planned communities filled the Prairie.
The Star, the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters campus, and a wave of corporate relocations made Frisco one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States.
