The Story
As settlers began to make the trek across the continent in the mid 1850’s, a few of them settled in an area now known as Collin County. They came in wagons pulled by oxen or horses, braving the cold winter months until spring arrived. Once the winter thaw arrived, it was more suitable for them to stake their claim in the newly settled land. As Collin County grew, the town of McKinney would incorporate and eventually become the county seat. The expansion of the railway system allowed for the increasing transport of agricultural and other goods to neighboring settlements. In 1910, the Texas Cotton Mill opened. Over the next half century, cotton would become a booming industry leading
to great prosperity throughout the country. During this time, many people - from immigrant and even slave origins worked the land for those who had settled it. Years later, after the passing of the Civil Rights Amendments, this land would eventually have a new meaning. Once worked by immigrants and slaves, this same land would become a place of opportunity to own a home, raise a family, and build a community - bringing the history and the people of McKinney full circle. Fields of labor gave way to a place called home for families whose history might never have dreamed of such a place. Welcome to The Cotton Groves. Celebrating history, building legacy and strengthening family.
