📖 About Frisco

Frisco is one of America's fastest-growing cities, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex approximately 30 miles north of downtown Dallas. With a population that has exploded from 33,000 in 2000 to over 220,000 today, Frisco exemplifies the Texas boomtown phenomenon. The city consistently ranks among the best places to live in the United States for its schools, safety, and quality of life.

The city has transformed into a major sports and entertainment destination, home to the Dallas Cowboys headquarters and practice facility (The Star), the FC Dallas soccer stadium, the Frisco RoughRiders baseball team, and the National Videogame Museum. Corporate relocations have brought major employers including T-Mobile's regional headquarters and numerous technology companies.

Frisco attracts young families with its highly rated Frisco ISD schools, master-planned communities, and abundant amenities. The Asian population has grown significantly, with Indian and Chinese communities establishing restaurants, grocery stores, and cultural institutions. While critics cite rapid development and traffic, Frisco represents the aspirational Texas suburban dream for many relocating families.

📜 History

Frisco's origins trace to the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway ("Frisco" Railroad), which arrived in 1902, giving the town its name. The community remained a small farming town through most of the 20th century, with population under 7,000 as late as 1990. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex expansion finally reached Frisco in the 1990s.

Growth accelerated dramatically after 2000, driven by affordable land, good schools, and master-planned community development. Corporate relocations, sports facilities, and retail development reinforced the boom. The Dallas Cowboys' decision to locate their headquarters in Frisco (opened 2016) symbolized the city's arrival. Today's Frisco continues expanding, with population potentially reaching 300,000 as remaining land develops. The transformation from railroad town to boomtown took barely two decades.
