"...the most hospitable and friendly people to be found anywhere." That was true in 1924 when Carrollton was connected with downtown Dallas via the Texas Interurban Railway, and it is equally true today.

Settlers from Carrollton, Illinois, and at least one from Carrollton, Maryland, built a camp in 1844 at, or near, the present site of today's Farmers Branch Elementary School, but an Indian raid forced move north to the present site; established in 1872 as a stop on the MK&T Railroad. Growth has paralleled other Metroplex cities, growing from 1,610 in 1950 to the status of a city today.
