Richardson Texas along way from Morton Salt and Scotch Tape

Settlers from Kentucky and Tennessee came to the Richardson area in
the 1840s. Through the 1850s the settlement was located around the
present-day site of Richland College. After the Civil War a railroad
was built northwest of the original settlement, shifting the village's
center closer to the railroad. Richardson was chartered in 1873, and
the town was named after railroad contractor E.H. Richardson. In 1908,
the Texas Electric Railway an electric railway know as the Interurban,
connected Richardson to Denison, Waco, Corsicana and Fort Worth. In
1910 the population was approximately 600. A red brick schoolhouse was
built in 1914. The schoolhouse is now the administrative office for
the Richardson Independent School District. In 1924 the Red Brick
Road, the present-day Greenville Avenue, was completed. The completion
of the road brought increased traffic, population and property values.
The town incorporated and elected a mayor in 1925. In 1940 the
population was approximately 740.

After World War II the city experienced major increases in population,
which stood at approximately 1,300 by 1950. Throughout the 1950s the
city continued to see growth including the opening of the Collins
Radio Richardson office, the Central Expressway, a police department,
shopping centers and many homes. Texas Instruments opened its offices
in Dallas on the southern border of Richardson in 1956. This was
followed by significant gains in land values, population and economic
status. In the 1960s Richardson experienced additional growth
including several new parks, facilities and the creation of the
University of Texas at Dallas within the city limits. By 1972 the
population was approximately 56,000. Residential growth continued
through the 1970s and slowed in the 1980s. Commercial development
increased throughout the 1980s. Richardson had a population of 74,840
according to the 1990 census. Population increases throughout the
1990s was primarily from development of the northeast part of the
city. The city of Buckingham, after being completely surrounded by
Richardson, was annexed into the city in 1996.
Richardson had a population of 91,802 as of the 2000 census. By 2002
Richardson had four Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) light rail
stations and had built the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and
Corporate Presentations and the adjacent Galatyn Park urban center,
which has a two-acre public pedestrian plaza, a luxury hotel and
mixed-use development. Richardson was a "dry city" with no alcohol
sales until November 2006, when the local option election passed to
allow the sale of beer and wine in grocery and convenience stores.
Richardson received local media attention for removing its rocket
slide, space age and Cold War-era playground equipment from Heights
Park in July 2008. In the fall of 2008 Peter Perfect, a Style Network
television show, came to Richardson. The business-makeover show
remodeled SpiritWear, an apparel and embroidery store in the city's
historic downtown area. The episode first aired on January 22, 2009.
It was the first episode of the series to be filmed outside of
California. In an April 2009 interview, Mike Judge said that he
modeled Arlen, the setting for King of the Hill, after Richardson
