Garland, TX - Settlers began
arriving in the Peters colony area around 1850 but a
community wasn't created until 1874. Two communities
sprung up in the area: "Embree," named for the physician
K. H. Embree, and "Duck Creek," named for the local
creek of the same name. A rivalry between the two towns
ensued as the area began to grow around the Santa Fe
Railroad depot. Eventually, to settle a dispute over
which town should have the local post office, Dallas
County Judge Thomas A. Nash asked visiting Congressman
Joe Abbott to move the post office between the two
towns, which was done in 1887. The new location was
named "Garland" after Attorney General Augustus Hill
Garland. Embree and Duck Creek were combined to form the
city of Garland. In 1891, the new city was incorporated.
By 1904 the town had a population of 819 people.

In 1920, local businessmen financed a new electrical
generator plant (sold by Fairbanks-Morse) for the town.
Out of this was formed Garland Power & Light, the
municipal electric provider that still powers the city
today.
On May 9, 1927, a devastating tornado destroyed much of
the town and killed 17 people, including the former
mayor S. E. Nicholson.
By 1872 Jacob Samuels, William Jesse Boaz, and William
Henry Davis had opened general stores. The next year
Khleber M. Van Zandt established Tidball, Van Zandt, and
Company, which became Garland National Bank in 1884.

Businesses began to move back into the area in the late
1930s. The Craddock food company and later the
Byer-Rolnick hat factory (now owned by Resistol) moved
into the area. In 1937, KRLD, a major Dallas radio
station, built its radio antenna tower in Garland, and
it is operational to this day. During World War II,
several aircraft plants were operated in the area, and
the Kraft Foods company purchased a vacant one after the
War for its own use. By 1950, the population of Garland
had exceededed 10,000 people.
