Histori
When Dallas was populated by American pioneers, many settlers traveled by train along the Shawnee Line. This trail became Preston Trail, and then, Preston Road. With all these activities, the Lebanese community was established along this road, and was awarded a US post office in 1860. In 1902, the Railway St. Louis-San Francisco is being built through the area, and regular watering. stops are needed along the route for steam locomotives. The Lebanese settlement is currently in Preston Ridge and therefore too high, so the watering is placed about four miles (6 km) westward on the lower ground. A community grows around this train stop. Some Lebanese people move their homes to new communities with logs. The new town was originally named Emerson, but the US Postal Service rejected the name because it was too similar to other cities in Texas. In 1904, the townspeople chose the "City of Frisco" to honor the St. Louis-San Francisco. The name is then shortened to Frisco.
Then, in 1978, the first season of the Dallas hit show was filmed at Frisco's Cloyce Box Ranch (now Brinkmann Ranch), where the house was used as the Ewing family's home. The house was burned during a renovation in 1987, and the steel frame of the house still stands at Brinkmann Ranch today, now belonging to the largest family in Frisco.
The typical Frisco skeleton is made on the logo of St. Louis-San Francisco Railway.
