Local
History
The area was first settled
in 1842 by William and Mary Larner on a site within the Peters'
Colony grant. In 1844, the A. W. Perry family claimed land
in the area around Trinity
Mills, where, in partnership with Wade H. Witt, a mill was
established. The English
colony, a group of families in the northeastern area of settlement
which crossed into Denton County, was home to large landowners
including the Furneaux, Jackson, Morgan, and Rowe families. It
is most likely that Carrollton was named for Carrollton,
Illinois, the original home of many of these settlers.Early
on, Carrollton's livelihood was exclusively agricultural, but
following the construction of the Dallas-Wichita Railroad through
Trinity Mills in 1878, the community began to grow in its industrial
significance. Carrollton's significance was further strengthened
when the railroad was extended to Denton in
1880 by Jay Gould (who
sold the line to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas
Railroad (the Katy) in 1881). By 1885. |
