About the Business

The Frisco Grain Elevator, located at 6478-6448 Main Street in Frisco, Texas, is a historical reminder of the city's roots as a farming community. Built in the late 1940s and early 1950s by Continental Grain, these grain storage buildings stand in contrast to the modern urban developments surrounding them. The importance of agriculture to the growth of Frisco is evident in the presence of these structures, which were originally part of a larger complex that included flour mills and cotton gins. While cotton is no longer grown in Collin County and the last cotton gin closed in 1976, the legacy of farming is still evident in the street names, schools, and business parks throughout the city. The Frisco Grain Elevator serves as a tangible link to the past, preserving the history of farming in the area for future generations to appreciate.

Alyssa Dequeant:

"These grain elevators remain somewhat in contrast to the new urban developments that surround them, but they stand as a reminder of Frisco’s roots as a farming community. The importance of agriculture to the growth of Frisco cannot be stressed enough. The railroad brought the town, but the farmers sustained it with their crops that they shipped on the railroad. The land on the west side of the tracks bordered by John Elliott Drive was never intended to be for homes and here is where the flour mills, cotton gins, and grain storage were placed. The only part of that history still standing is this complex of grain storage buildings that were built in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It is believed that Continental Grain built the silos. Many of the early cotton gins, flour mills, and grain storage facilities burned and were usually rebuilt since farming was the main way of life in the early days of Frisco. You will still see an occasional field of wheat in the area, but cotton is no longer grown in Collin County. The last cotton gin closed in 1976."
