Prior to the arrival of the European and American immigrants into the
Allen area, Caddo and Comanche Indian tribes inhabited the region.
The Indian tribes migrated westward as the early settlers entered the
area and were eventually removed to the Indian Territory to the north of
the Red River. One of the last known conflicts between the early
settlers and the Indians took place in 1844 along Rowlett Creek near
the existing railroad. An historic marker along SH 5 near Rowlett Creek
commemorates the event.
Immigrants of European descent began arriving into the Allen area in
the early 1840's in search of free land, travelling the Texas Road and
the Central National Road, constructed by the Republic of Texas. A
stage line ran from Bonham through McKinney to Allen and Plano,
crossing Rowlett Creek where SH 5 now crosses. Allen was part of the
Peter’s Colony Land Grant from the Republic of Texas to the Texas
Emigration & Land Company.
The Houston and Texas Central Railroad, constructed through Allen in
1872, laid out the original township of Allen. The H&TC was acquired
by J.P. Morgan & Company in 1877 and by the Southern Pacific in
1883. In 1918, the H&TC erected a combination freight/passenger
depot in the Allen Central Business District.
The first train robbery in Texas took place in Allen on February 22,
1878, when Sam Bass and his associates pillaged the train. Allen was
a short ride from their hideouts in the Elm Trinity brush lands.
In 1907, the Texas Traction Company (Interurban) purchased right-ofway
on the west side of the H&TC main line track and constructed the
Interurban line through Allen as a stop on its route from Denison to
Dallas in 1908. In 1915 a devastating fire destroyed most of the
business district between the Interurban tracts and the railroad.
The Interurban closed in 1948 and the population of Allen declined to
400 in 1950. The town was officially incorporated in 1953 and home
rule status was adopted in 1979, with a Council/Manager form of
government. The construction of US 75 in 1960 had a similar impact
on Allen’s future as the railroad almost a century before. In the 1980’s,
Developmental Learning Materials and InteCom, Inc. relocated to Allen,
leading the way for further corporate startups and relocations.
