recent increase in different cultures and
religions as well as an influx of middle class
and upper middle class families.
History
The town was founded in 1870 as a railroad stop
for the Houston and Texas Railroad, connecting
the railway with nearby farms. The first railway
dam used to facilitate the railway still stands
at Exchange Park. The town was named after
former Texas attorney general and railroad
promoter Ebenezer Allen.
In 1878, a gang of robbers led by Sam Bass,
committed what is believed to have been the
first train robbery in Texas at the RR crossing
on what is now McDermott.
During the 1990s, children's television shows
such as Barney & Friends and Wishbone were
filmed in Allen. Also a few episodes of Zoom.
Education
The Allen Independent School District has 13
elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 freshman
center, 1 alternate school, and 1 high school
(Allen High School). Allen ISD serves almost all
of Allen.
Small portions of the Allen city limits extend
into Lovejoy, McKinney, and Plano ISDs. In the
fall of 2006, new 9th grade high school students
in the Lovejoy ISD boundaries began attending
the newly opened Lovejoy High School [1]. A new
grade level is to be added each subsequent
school year, making the school a full 4-year
high school in the 2009-10 school year. Existing
Allen High School (Classes 2008 and 2009)
students within the Lovejoy ISD boundaries
continue to attend Allen High School.
Allen hosts a campus of the Collin County
Community College District, which is located
inside Allen High School.
The Allen Eagle Escadrille, Allen High School's
marching band, performed in the 2006 Tournament
of Roses Parade and Bandfest in Pasadena,
California. The Escadrille has 650 members,
including the band, drill team, and color guard.
The Escadrille is the largest high school band
in the world. It was also a special participant
in the 1994 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin,
Ireland, 1995 and 1999 Texas Gubernatorial
Parades, and 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
in New York City.
