Our retro Garland designs draw on all of it — the black-dirt cotton rows and rail-depot heritage, the Plaza's marquee glow, Lake Ray Hubbard water and Blackland green, and the Lone Star pride of a true Texas hometown. Each piece is rendered in the vintage travel style we build for every American town we love — made to feel like a postcard from the square you can wear.
The twentieth century turned the farm town into an industrial one. Manufacturing put down roots — Resistol, the famous Western hat maker, among the plants that made Garland a byword for Texas industry — and the city diversified into electronics, food processing, chemicals, and instruments, building one of the larger industrial bases in North Texas. The Plaza Theatre rose on the downtown square in 1941 and still anchors it, restored and busy; the postwar Metroplex boom did the rest, carrying Garland from a courthouse-square cotton town to one of the largest cities in Texas.
Why People Visit Garland Texas
People come to Garland for its easy place in the Metroplex — a historic square and a real founding story, lake recreation on Ray Hubbard, and green preserves — all minutes northeast of Dallas. It's practical, green, and neighborly: the town that two railroads accidentally built.
