1960′s McKinney Texas
McKinney has held the title of “fastest growing city in America” off and on over the past few years. The little burg 30 minutes north of Dallas has more than doubled in population over the last decade. With the building of the 5,000 acre master-planned Stonebridge Ranch, McKinney set itself on a course to become a major suburb of Dallas.
I recently ran across an old fold-out map of McKinney, complete with ads for “Montgomery Ward” and “Cabell’s Finer Dairy Foods”. I’m guessing it was published around 1965 form the text “Population… McKinney, 1960 Federal Census, 13,763. 1965 estimate, 14,750.
Now grab your purse, Delores, and let’s take the panel-wagon down to Ed’s Drive In for a burger!
