Plano History
|
Plano was incorporated in 1873 and chartered as a home rule city in 1961. Until the 1960s, Plano always relied on surrounding farms and ranches for its livelihood. As Dallas grew south and a number of larger high technology companies began to see success in the Plano area, city planners began making preparations for the growth that was looming.
