Why this spot

1889-1904 land run town

Frisco was platted in 1889 by Civil War veterans and soon had over 1,000 people, stores, a bank, cotton gin, sawmill, hotel, three newspapers and a college building. The railroads never came, residents drifted away, and the post office closed in 1904.View source →
