McKinney, Texas, is a quaint suburb just north of the bustling city of Dallas. Many commuters live in McKinney at night and commute to the commercial center by day. As more people continue to shift their residences to the suburbs, McKinney has enjoyed unprecedented residential growth coupled with strong ties to business.

Recent estimates put the total population of McKinney at about 90,000 residents. Despite this, the city has maintained a high quality of living with that small-town feel that everyone seems to be looking for these days.

Three historic districts and the historic downtown square are prime locations for social and recreational activities. Two master-planned communities are on the rise with golf courses, parks, trails, and lakes. In addition, world-class education and health care are available.

The city was foundd in 1848 by Collin McKinney. He was a land surveyor, legislator, and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. There remain some 3375 historic structures still standing here today. Many museums serve to highlight the city's roots like the Collin County Museum and the Chestnut Square Museum Village.
