Brief history
Just 30 years ago, Frisco, TX was a quiet farm town with a population of 6,000. Since then, it has grown to a city of over 200,000, largely due to a flurry of corporate relocations in the Dallas area. Through this growth, city planners focused on making Frisco an ideal place for families by expanding recreational amenities, shopping centers, healthcare facilities, and schools. In fact, the Frisco Independent School District went from just one high school in 1993 to 10 today. In 2018, it was named 鈥淏est place to live in America鈥 by Money magazine.
