Frisco, Texas, is an affluent and fast-growing city located in Collin and Denton counties, firmly positioned within the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. The city traces its origins to the early 1900s, when it developed along the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway, commonly known as the “Frisco” line, from which the city takes its name. Frisco was officially incorporated in 1908, beginning as a small railroad community serving surrounding agricultural lands.
For much of the 20th century, Frisco remained a modest rural town. That changed dramatically in the late 1990s and early 2000s as population growth surged across North Texas. Like many booming northern suburbs of Dallas, Frisco evolved into a bedroom community for professionals working throughout the Metroplex. Strategic planning, strong schools, and major corporate and sports developments accelerated its transformation into one of Texas’ most desirable cities.
Today, Frisco is nationally recognized for its quality of life, economic development, and civic leadership. It has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing suburbs in the United States, reflecting both residential demand and a thriving business environment. Major attractions, corporate headquarters, and master-planned neighborhoods have positioned Frisco as a model for modern suburban growth.
As of 2025, Frisco operates under a council-manager form of government. The city is led by Mayor [Jeff Cheney], supported by City Council members Tammy Meinershagen, Bill Woodard, Dan Stricklin, Brian Livingston, Angelia Pelham, and Dee Majors. Day-to-day city operations are managed by City Manager [Wes Pierson], who oversees municipal departments and implements policies set by the Mayor and City Council.
With careful planning and forward-thinking leadership, Frisco continues to shape its future as one of North Texas’ most dynamic cities.
