Born into a vast kingdom that spans much of the midwest, Silas found himself the heir to a throne he discovered he didn’t want as he grew older. The history of Kendrick Ranches goes back into the time of the western expansion, staking claims in Colorado and Montana that eventually spanned south to Texas and as far west as Arizona. There’s even some land in Florida owned and operated under the name. As the second oldest of four children, Silas didn’t think much of the weight of the legendary name would eventually rest so heavily on his shoulders. As a kid he enjoyed ranch life; riding and training horses, roping, herding, and cutting. Most of his time was spent in the company of the ranch hands that kept the massive operation of the multi-million dollar business of cattle and horses going. From the dawn of rodeos kicking up dust in the US, the Kendrick’s had a play in it. Sometimes it was the rodeo stars shining before a crowd under the ranch name, but mostly it was the supply of cattle, bulls, and horses that truly had made them a powerhouse.

The majority of the income for the ranches comes from the cattle, beef sales. It made the Kendrick’s powerful and put the family next to the movers and shakers through history that shaped the states and even the federal government to some degree. However, in the world of the cowboy, the fame and glory attached to the ranches were the quality of bulls supplied at rodeos along with the competitiveness of the horses in their competitions. A glamor that lured a young Silas from the time he could ride.

With the majority of his formative years spent in the company of cowboys, rodeo veterans, and ranch hands he picked up much more than skill when it came to the cowboy way. It was also where his love of music had been born. Sitting around a fire or outside of the houses the hands lived in with guitars playing and men crooning at the moon had been his teacher, the encouragement of a passion that had seemed innate. Silas was merely six when he began playing guitar, and by the time he was a teenager he was writing his own songs and singing at festivals and rodeos wherever they traveled to. Everyone would say that he was a natural, that it was something he was born to do, but it wasn’t that easy when he was actually a prince with his destiny already laid out for him. Throughout his entire youth, his father allowed him to cowboy, to rodeo as long as he worked the ranch and learned every bit of how it operated. Silas had a special way with horses, they connected easily, and took to just about anything he did with a grace that his father hadn’t seen in anyone since his grandfather.

The pressure cooker in the Kendrick household eventually sent Silas flying from the nest the moment he turned 18. He was quick to sign on the dotted line and became a Marine, sent off to bootcamp where he was often made an example of because he was not only stubborn but he was country strong. What he learned quickly was that the military was about breaking someone and then rebuilding, and since that wasn’t easily done with someone like him the entire contract and service was hell on many fronts. Not only was he thrown into a war where he was forced to do unspeakable things, he ended up damning himself for the fact that he was prized there as well. He was a superstar because he could hunt and shoot better than anyone else he’d enlisted with. He could take a beating. He could carry the wounded. He wasn’t fazed by anything. Or so they all thought.

When he returned back to Colorado and to the family ranch Silas was different. Battleworn and traumatized, he threw himself into rodeo and cowboyed harder than he’d ever done before. The music he wrote and sang became darker and the nights became wild and mystical the more whiskey he drank. He’d signed up to ride the baddest bulls on the circuits with no fear of how they could possibly shatter his bones or end his life, and that was when his father realized that Silas had a death wish. That was when he and his family turned against each other. A father worked to save his son and continued to force a way of life on him that Silas didn’t want. There were knock down, drag out fights and warfare within a family rarely seen outside the lines of an opera.

Every part of what Silas does for the ranch, for his family, his done with reluctance and bitterness. If it weren’t for them finding the exact thing to hold over his head then he would’ve been long gone, off rotting away somewhere. At least he would be free and not a prisoner to a life he never wanted for himself. The fealty makes him sick. The duty. The honor. The brand. If it wasn’t for what had been burned into his skin then he could’ve likely made it out. If only he hadn’t been the cowboy they’d always dreamed of.

‘It's borderline criminal’ – Manufactured housing was an affordable homeownership option. Now, investor-owned parks are pricing residents out

At the end of the month, Edmund McGahey plans to load up his U-Haul with the American flag neatly rolled behind his front door, take his wind chimes down from his front porch, pack his eight potted Christmas cacti, and leave for Texas.

With an outstanding mortgage he has no choice but to hand the keys to his double-wide manufactured house within Great Brook Village over to his bank. He can’t sell it due to rising park rental fees.

McGahey, a 74-year-old Vietnam War veteran, envisioned the over-55 community as an affordable place to retire when bought the home in May of last year for $80,000.

When he first looked at the property, the rent for the lot of land beneath the home was $528 per month. By the time his loan was approved and he moved in, it increased to $829. As of July 1, rent on the plot was up to $965, and when a prospective buyer looked into making an offer on the house, the property manager said the new monthly fee would soon grow to over $1,000.

McGahey’s moving in with his daughter for health reasons, but if he stayed put, he’s not sure how he’d pay his bills. After an out-of-state investor, Oakshire Capital, purchased the park in 2021, rent increases soon followed.

Great Brook Village is not an anomaly in these rising prices. Across the country, investors have purchased manufactured housing parks in wide swaths. Residents can be cash cows for park owners, as they own their houses but only rent the land their homes sit on.

With a $1,050 monthly mortgage, the rent practically doubles McGahey’s bills.

“Bottom line is I have to move, but I am caught between a rock and a hard spot,” he said. “My credit is going to be totally destroyed. It was a very hard decision to make, but I have to do what’s best for me.”

Other residents in the park have hired a lawyer to contest the rent increases. Median home sale prices in New Hampshire recently hit $500,000 and rental vacancy rates remain below 1 percent statewide. With this landscape, they fear they have nowhere else to go.

Meanwhile, McGahey said he has no choice but to walk away.

“He’s holding me hostage here because I cannot sell my house and I have to get out of here,” McGahey said. “I never thought I’d be in this kind of predicament where I’m just going to turn the house back over to the bank. I just can’t do it. The stress alone is enough to drive anybody crazy.”

‘Not a good situation’ When McGahey moved into his three-bedroom, two-bathroom double-wide home, he replaced the old carpets, put a fresh coat of paint on the walls and spruced up the landscaping. He hung a framed photo of him and his late wife, Ann, above a small table in the living room. In the drawer, McGahey saved bills and notices from the park. The latest notice from the property manager – Matt Dennehy, who did not return requests for comment in this story – warned that monthly fees were increasing to $965 beginning July 1. It still had the blue masking tape used to stick it to his door.

The trend of investor interest in these parks began in 2015, according to George McCarthy, the president and CEO of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, a nonprofit that looks at trends nationwide. Since then, about 30 percent of manufactured housing sites across the country have changed hands to investors looking to turn a profit.

“Manufactured housing communities are considered to be the best-performing reach in the real estate investment trust sector,” he said. “So there’s been a lot of capital flowing in that direction, unfortunately for people who live in manufactured housing parks.”

In 2021, the 5.8-acre Great Brook Village was sold to Oakshire Capital for $4.2 million. Horvath and Tremblay, an investment real estate company based out of Massachusetts, arranged the sale.

Oakshire Capital manager Bradley Pereira did not reply to email and phone requests for comment.

McGahey didn’t realize his park was investor-owned when he purchased it. Meanwhile, longtime residents watched the sale happen, hopeful that a new owner would maintain the park as was.

Bob Denutte, 70, has lived in Great Brook Village for 14 years, a few doors down from McGahey. When he moved in, rent was a little over $300, he said. New rent for prospective buyers is now $1,195.

“He lied to everybody and tried to make him look good and said he would be a perfect owner and take care of everybody’s issues,” he said. “It was a scheme.”

Often manufactured houses are referred to interchangeably as “mobile homes.” To McCarthy, that’s a misnomer, because once a house is purchased it’s rarely moved. The cost of picking up the structure and delivering it somewhere else costs thousands of dollars.

If McGahey was staying in state, it would be unlikely his house would follow him if he left the park.

“I didn’t know anybody up here at all when I first moved in. They said it was a great place to live,” he said. “People are fantastic but everybody is up in arms about the rent increases. He’s destroying my life and getting away with it and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.”

‘Deaf ear’ When an investor purchases a park, the change in ownership can often lead to a downturn in services – from trash collection to lawn care.

That has been the case at Great Brook Village, as well. Residents were recently asked to pay an additional trash collection fee. Denutte has asked for branches to be trimmed near his home with no response. One recently fell through his roof and cost him more than $3,000 to repair.

For nearly 20 years, Bruce Buckingham, 68, has lived in the park, in a double-wide home with a deck.

Erosion on the property has caused his deck to drop and his driveway to collapse. He is in an ongoing dispute with the park owner over whose responsibility it is to fix, arguing that he does not own the land where these problems are present. Building permit records from 2019 indicate that the deck needs to be replaced.

“He’s turned a deaf ear on it, he just won’t hear of it,” he said.

Buckingham has written to the Attorney General’s office, state representatives, manufactured home associations and the congressional delegation about his issue. The unanimous response has been to get an attorney, which he previously did but could not afford to retain.

“It’s very frustrating for people like us on fixed incomes that can’t afford an attorney,” he said. “It’s not a good situation.”

Resident-owned alternatives Mike Cox’s house is no different than those at Great Brook Village. It’s a double-wide, three-bedroom, two-bathroom manufactured home in a neighboring park in Belmont, he purchased for just over $80,000.

Since 2005, Cox has seen a $20 increase in the rent on his lot, which currently sits at $370 a month – he lives in the Lakes Region Manufactured Housing Cooperative, a resident-owned community since 2000. Next year, the park mortgage will be paid off, shedding another expense for residents.

A movement has been afoot in New Hampshire where residents band together to buy and own the land as a cooperative, giving themselves control over decisions, like lot rent. They elect leaders to manage the park bylaws and have collective input on decisions.

When a park is for sale, as Great Brook Village was in 2021, residents are offered the first right of refusal to purchase it. At the time, they passed on the offer, fearing that the cost to maintain the park themselves would equate to $900 in rent.

At the time, Denutte said Pereira, the owner of Oakshire Capital, visited and reassured residents about the sale so they backed down.

“If they had known this was going to happen I’m sure they would have done it,” said Denutte. “I’m sure they would have made more of an effort to purchase it.”

Over the last four decades, the expansion of resident-owned communities has become a staple of affordable housing in the state and the most prolific solution to maintaining these communities, according to the Lincoln Institute’s McCarthy.

New Hampshire has led the nation in this trend, with the first cooperative established in Meredith in 1984. Nearly 150 exist across the state. In the Merrimack County area, out of a total 58 manufactured housing parks, 22 are resident-owned.

On average, resident-owned community rent is $400 a month, according to data self-reported by park boards. Rent increases in investor-owned communities can outpace cooperatives by 50 to 100 percent, according to surveys that McCarthy has reviewed.

To Cox, living in a resident-owned park provides protections that others don’t offer, especially for senior residents. Before any changes to the bylaws are made, the community requires a vote. The co-op has a management company that collects rent and oversees the park finances. And state laws also provide guidance.

“We have quite a few people in the park that are in their 80s. They only live on Social Security,” Cox said. “Now, if we were to do what this other place just did? What would we do to these people? We’d destroy them. That’s not our intention. We want people to have a place where they can have and call it their home.”

‘This is how they play the game’ McGahey walked gingerly from his front door to a recliner in his living room. He can no longer live alone – he suffers from AL amyloidosis, a rare disease linked to Agent Orange herbicides used in Vietnam – opting to move to Texas to be with his daughter.

In June, he listed his house for $120,000 and hoped to sell it by the end of the summer. At the beginning of July, he cut the price to $110,000. Currently, it’s listed for $80,000, which means he’ll lose money on the sale after the real estate agents take their fees.

If turnover in the park stalls, then home values depreciate, as well.

“No one wants to buy the property because they know what it is going to cost them to rent, people can’t move,” said McCarthy. “If you can’t ever liquidate that into available money, it’s not worth anything, right?”

This is exactly McGahey’s predicament. He had one prospective buyer but when they learned the amount of the lot rent, they backed out. He doesn’t blame them.

His neighbors are equally outraged.

“He’s holding everybody hostage who is trying to sell now because he knows they can’t. He knows nobody is going to move in here and pay $1,200 for rent,” said Denutte.

The October notice left at McGahey’s door included a phone number for mediation through the state’s Manufactured Housing Consumer Action Program.

New Hampshire state law requires that when an owner increases the rent by more than $15 a month, residents can request a private mediation with the owner if more than half of the park residents agree for the session to take place.

To McCarthy, it’s an innovative solution that centers on residents’ concerns. In other states, he’s seen policy focus more on rent stabilization, instead.

At Great Brook Village, though, it hasn’t worked. Residents have now pooled money to hire a lawyer – with asks of $600 each to meet the retainer of $35,000. They’ve also considered hosting fundraisers to help.

“What we’re trying to do is find some way of getting rent back down, where it is civilized and where people will be able to sell their homes if they want, so they can move,” said Denutte.

Buckingham has spent years researching this trend across the country, learning about a cruel cycle that now envelopes his property and life.

“We’re all retired and living on a fixed income so that’s what they do. They rule with fear and intimidation. They scare people. They say, if you don’t do this, we’re going to evict you,” he said. “This is how they play the game.”

McGahey plans to attend his final two Veterans Affairs appointments in New Hampshire before going to the bank and beginning the paperwork to hand his house over. After long conversations with his three children, they picked a date to help him pack up and leave his house behind.

“I’m holding my breath that maybe my real estate agent can find a buyer, but it’s it’s not going to happen,” he said. “I’m a realistic person.”

Airbus A320 Pilots.

Want to earn $300,000 tax free? Try flying a plane in China

Chinese airlines are offering huge pay packages to tempt foreign pilots as demand for air travel balloons.

Some carriers are advertising salaries of more than $300,000 a year -- and they say they'll cover the tax bill, too.

"There's not enough pilots in the world to fill the demand," said Dave Ross, the CEO of Wasinc International, a firm that finds pilots for Chinese airlines. "This is why the pay keeps going higher."

China will need between 4,000 and 5,000 new airline pilots every year for the next two decades, analysts estimate. Chinese airlines are among the fastest growing on the planet -- at home and abroad -- and they're the biggest buyers of jetliners from Airbus(EADSF) and Boeing (BA).

Training schools in China aren't churning out enough pilots to keep up with the industry's meteoric growth, and there's an acute shortage of experienced captains.

The airlines' rich offers have attracted industry veterans from all around the globe.

"Before I was flying anywhere from 80-100 hours a month. Here, I only fly 50 for pretty much three times the pay," said Jeff Graham. He left a job with cargo airline Southern Air in San Antonio, Texas, last year to work for a carrier in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.

"There were a couple of other options in Asia, but the pay -- the best rate now -- is in China," said Fernando, who declined to be identified by his full name because he didn't have permission from the airline to speak publicly. He and his wife moved to Chengdu in August, and he recently finished his training.

Western pilots have long chased the financial incentives that come with hot demand for their skills and experience.

Veteran aviators who once flew for U.S. and European airlines upped sticks previously for Middle Eastern carriers. Some of those same pilots are now headed from Dubai to China, according to one Boeing 777 pilot who has followed the money east.

Multiple ads from Chinese airlines on recruitment sites like Wasinc offer monthly salaries of more than $25,000 (with tax paid) for captains.

"In China, pilots are always in short supply," said Guo Jing, a spokesperson for the airline. "And we offer high salaries because if we don't, nobody will come."

The sums Chengdu and others are willing to pay compare with an average monthly salary of $17,400 for the most senior pilots at major U.S. carriers like United (UAL) and Delta(DAL), according to aviation consultancy Kit Darby.

Some top U.S. airlines have recently granted big pay raises as part of new labor agreements, and others are under pressure to do the same. Pilots at some regional carriers can earn less than $25,000 per year, according to the Air Line Pilots Association, International.

Low pay and changes in rules governing pilot flight hours have caused an acute pilot shortage among those smaller carriers in the U.S.

Despite the head-turning sums, Chinese airlines are still struggling to find enough foreign pilots to match their shiny new jet fleets.

"Their view is, 'We're paying very good money, keep sending us more candidates,'" said Liz Loveridge, North East Asia director for Rishworth Aviation, which recruits pilots. "But we may have a limited number of candidates who will be interested."

Issues such as China's heavy bureaucracy and nasty pollution have prompted some potential candidates to think twice, according to recruiters.

And it can be a long haul from being offered a job to getting the first pay check. The process of getting a Chinese pilot's license -- from putting in the application, traveling to China for a written test and exhaustive medical evaluations, and then returning once more for a test flight -- took Graham about a year, he says.

Such hurdles test how much foreign pilots are willing to go through to land fat salaries in China.

"If you're coming here strictly for a pay check, you're probably not going to be here very long," said Doug Ward, an American who's been flying planes in China for more than seven years. He also acts as a representative for the pilots Wasinc has recruited.

Both he and Graham say they've enjoyed the experience of living in a different culture and the broader horizons it offers for their children.

"We've only been here a year, but if it continues with this path, I'd like to stay as long as I could," Graham said. "I wouldn't mind staying 10 to 12 years."

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

July 23, 2021

Heather Cox Richardson

On July 20, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first humans ever to land, and then to walk, on the moon.

They were part of the Apollo program, designed to put an American man on the moon. Their spacecraft launched on July 16 and landed back on Earth in the Pacific Ocean July 24, giving them eight days in space, three of them orbiting the moon 30 times. Armstrong and Aldrin spent almost 22 hours on the moon’s surface, where they collected soil and rock samples and set up scientific equipment, while the pilot of the command module, Michael Collins, kept the module on course above them.

The American space program that created the Apollo 11 spaceflight grew out of the Cold War. The year after the Soviet Union launched an artificial satellite in 1957, Congress created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to demonstrate American superiority by sending a man into space. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy moved the goalposts, challenging the country to put a man on the moon and bring him safely back to earth again. He told Congress: “No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.”

A year later, in a famous speech at Rice University in Texas, Kennedy tied space exploration to America’s traditional willingness to attempt great things. “Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolutions, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it—we mean to lead it,” he said.

[T]here is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people…. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills….”

But the benefits to the country would not only be psychological, he said. “The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school.” The effort would create “a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs…new demands in investment and skilled personnel,” as the government invested billions in it.

“To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money…. I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.”

Seven years later, people across the country gathered around television sets to watch Armstrong step onto the moon and to hear his famous words: “That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.”

President Richard Nixon called the astronauts from the White House: “I just can't tell you how proud we all are of what you have done,” he said. “For every American, this has to be the proudest day of our lives…. Because of what you have done, the heavens have become a part of man's world…. For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all the people on this Earth are truly one…in their pride in what you have done, and…in our prayers that you will return safely to Earth.”

And yet, by the time Armstrong and Aldrin were stepping onto the moon in a grand symbol of the success of the nation’s moon shot, Americans back on earth were turning against each other. Movement conservatives who hated post–World War II business regulation, taxation, and civil rights demanded smaller government and championed the idea of individualism, while those opposed to the war in Vietnam increasingly distrusted the government.

After May 4, 1970, when the shooting of college students at Kent State University in Ohio badly weakened Nixon’s support, he began to rally supporters to his side with what his vice president, Spiro Agnew, called “positive polarization.” They characterized those who opposed the administration as anti-American layabouts who simply wanted a handout from the government. The idea that Americans could come together to construct a daring new future ran aground on the idea that anti-war protesters, people of color, and women were draining hardworking taxpayers of their hard-earned money.

Ten years later, former actor and governor of California Ronald Reagan won the White House by promising to defend white taxpayers from people like the “welfare queen,” who, he said, “has 80 names, 30 addresses, 12 Social Security cards and is collecting veteran’s benefits on four non-existing deceased husbands.” Reagan promised to champion individual Americans, getting government, and the taxes it swallowed, off people’s backs.

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem,” Reagan said in his Inaugural Address. Americans increasingly turned away from the post–World War II teamwork and solidarity that had made the Apollo program a success, and instead focused on liberating individual men to climb upward on their own terms, unhampered by regulation or taxes.

This week, on July 20, 2021, 52 years to the day after Armstrong and Aldrin stepped onto the moon, former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and four passengers spent 11 minutes in the air, three of them more than 62 miles above the earth, where many scientists say space starts. For those three minutes, they were weightless. And then the pilotless spaceship returned to Earth.

Traveling with Bezos were his brother, Mark; 82-year-old Wally Funk, a woman who trained to be an astronaut in the 1960s but was never permitted to go to space; and 18-year-old Oliver Daemen from the Netherlands, whose father paid something under $28 million for the seat.

Bezos’s goal, he says, is not simply to launch space tourism, but also to spread humans to other planets in order to grow beyond the resource limits on earth. The solar system can easily support a trillion humans,” Bezos has said. “We would have a thousand Einsteins and a thousand Mozarts and unlimited—for all practical purposes—resources and solar power and so on. That's the world that I want my great-grandchildren's great-grandchildren to live in.”

Ariane Cornell, astronaut-sales director of Bezos’s space company Blue Origin, live-streamed the event, telling the audience that the launch “represents a number of firsts.” It was “[t]he first time a privately funded spaceflight vehicle has launched private citizens to space from a private launch site and private range down here in Texas. It’s also a giant first step towards our vision to have millions of people living and working in space.”

In 2021, Bezos paid $973 million in taxes on $4.22 billion in income while his wealth increased by $99 billion, making his true tax rate 0.98%. After his trip into the sky, he told reporters: “I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all of this…. Seriously, for every Amazon customer out there and every Amazon employee, thank you from the bottom of my heart very much. It’s very appreciated.”

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

[From comments: “When you’ve been able to amass your money by not paying your fair share of taxes, your “privately funded” venture is a diversion of rightfully public funds. This new space race is publicly funded, but absent public controls and alignment. Socialize the expenses, privatize the profits.”

“After May 4, 1970, when the shooting of college students at Kent State University in Ohio badly weakened Nixon’s support, he began to rally supporters to his side with what his vice president, Spiro Agnew, called “positive polarization."Combined with the unsubtle racism of Nixon's Southern Strategy, thus began the decades long Republican policy of dividing Americans against each other that has led us to what we have today; two Americas that reside in different universes, and our national wealth controlled by a handful of unelected, supremely, in some cases psychotically, self-centered white men.Jeff Bezos could not have existed in Kennedy's America. We must make that so again.”

History of Frisco tells of growth from rich soil

By Bob Warren, former mayor of Frisco

February 1, 2001

In February 1902, a town we now know as Frisco, was formed from the fertile black soil of west Collin County's beautiful rolling prairie land. However, to get a true picture of the history of our City, we need to look much further back in time, perhaps to the early 1800's.

At least three vital ingredients were present in the birth of Frisco. An abundance of rich soil made excellent farmland, but two other things were needed, transportation and water. Lets see how these three ingredients worked together to grow the Frisco we know today.

Transportation

As with any successful city, transportation has been key to the development of Frisco. Settlers first came to this area while traveling the Shawnee Trail.

In 1838 the Congress of the Republic of Texas appropriated money for the construction of a north-south road, there by opening northern Texas to trade. The Shawnee Trail from Austin to the Red River was followed for this route. This road, for which our Shawnee Trail Sports complex is named, ran through the heart of what later became the City of Frisco.

A military post near the Red River was named for Captain William G. Preston, a veteran of the Texas Revolution. The Shawnee Trail, which would ultimately become Preston Trail, then Preston Road, was used by wagon trains moving south bringing immigrants to Texas and by cattle drives going north from Austin. The town, Lebanon, then a thriving cattle town and now a part of Frisco, served as an assembly point for the cattle drives. South of this area in 1841, John Neely Bryan began the settlement of Dallas.

Next came another mode of transportation, the railroad, which actually gave birth to Frisco. The origin of railroads in this area began in 1849 in the state of Missouri. The Pacific Railroad Company was granted a charter to build a line from St. Louis to this western boundary of Missouri. Fifty-three years later the line had become a part of the St. Louis, San Francisco railroad. Men at depot stations along the line soon shortened the name of the line to "Frisco".

Water

By 1869 the laying of track, which would become part of the Frisco line, was being completed in Texas. In 1902 one such line was completed from Denison to Carrolton through the center of what is now Frisco. The thirst of the steam locomotive brought the need of watering holes about every twenty to thirty miles. Since water was not as available on the higher ground along Preston Ridge, the Frisco Railroad looked four miles west to lower ground. There they dug a lake called Frisco Lake, on Stewart Creek to provide water, (the second ingredient in our growth story) for the engines.

Soil or Land

In 1902, what would eventually become Frisco was a piece of land owned by the Blackland Town Site Company, a subsidiary of the Frisco Railroad. The property was subdivided into lots and sold to potential settlers. The auction, which was held on February 13 and 14, 1902, was advertised up and down the rail lines as far away as Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. The sale also attracted residents and merchants from surrounding communities that had no rail access. usinesses and residents began moving here from Little Elm to the west and from Lebanon, which was seeing fewer and fewer cattle drives.

With the decline of Lebanon, some of the houses were physically moved from Preston Road to what is now downtown Frisco. One was the T.J. Campbell home which was rolled on logs and pulled into Frisco where it now stands, a historical monument, at the corner of Main and Fifth Streets. It has become the home of Randy's Steak House.

The settlement was first called Emerson, named for Francis Emerson, owner of the farm where the town site was located. However, when application was made for a post office under the name "Emerson" the application was refused. There was a town called Emberson in Lamar County, and authorities ruled that the names were too similar.

An existing post office called Eurida was transferred to the new town site from a community only two miles to the northwest. The postmaster, Tom Duncan, came along in the move. For some time the office continued to operate under the name Eurida.

Later, in 1904, the people selected the name "Frisco City" for their town in honor of the railroad that founded the young city. It was soon shortened to Frisco, and the Post Office Department approved the new name.

Frisco became a thriving town, serving as a trade center for the surrounding farming community. It was not until 1908, however, that the residents elected to make their community an incorporated City. On March 27, 1908, the citizens elected their first municipal government which included four alderman, an alderman at large, a town marshal and Dr. I.S. Rogers, the town's first physician and mayor. Dr. Rogers, for which Rogers Elementary School is named, served as mayor the first three years of the City's incorporated life.

The census of 1910, Frisco's first, showed a population of 332 pioneers. By the next census, in 1920, the count was 733, and the town's population remained near that level through the 1950 census (736).

Quadruple digits were recorded in 1960 when the count showed 1184. Slow but steady growth continued, bringing the total to 3499 in 1980 and 6141 in 1990. The nineties ushered in a "population explosion" bringing an estimated 21,400 people as of January 1, 1997.

Today our three ingredients are still working to build Frisco. With 69 square miles of land (soil) within its boundaries the City is seeing a diversified crop produced. Where wheat, cotton, corn and feed once grew, we see people, houses, businesses, churches, schools, offices and parks.

Frisco Lake served its purpose as a railroad lake (and a swimming hole), then went the way of the steam locomotive. But water continues to be a key factor in our growth. Once served by water wells, today we have a contract with North Texas Municipal Water District to furnish up to 29 million gallons of water per day. In 1996, we consumed as much as 7 million gallons per day, so the contract provides ample water for future growth.

Though rail continues to be very important, automobiles and trucks, and how to keep them moving now claim our attention. Frisco is blessed with a toll road and major State and Federal highways, but they all need to be completed or widened, new streets and thoroughfares are being built as fast as practical. Within the next 3 to 5 years an estimated $61.2 million is to be spent on highway, toll road, street and thoroughfare improvements within the City of Frisco.

The once small village of Frisco has reached perhaps adolescence. Its mother, the railroad, hardly recognizes her child. But, what of the future? The City's Master Plan says when the City Develops fully into its 69 square miles, it may house as many as 350,000 people.

We will be challenged to keep our ingredients in order!
