The Plano cap, for the town that was named for the flat black prairie it stands on. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Plano vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Plano piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

Low-profile and unstructured, this 6-panel embroidered dad cap has a Permacurv visor, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. Breathable 100% cotton in every color except the camo variation, which is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired. Embroidery is thread, not ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

Peters’ Colony settlers arrived in 1845–46 and William Foreman’s mill became the nucleus; the post office of 1852 took the name Plano, Spanish for flat, for the Blackland Prairie farmland. The Houston & Texas Central Railway arrived in 1872 and the town incorporated on June 2, 1873.

The fire of 1881 destroyed all but one of the fifty-one downtown buildings and the town rebuilt in brick; the 1891 Farrell-Wilson farmhouse, with its jigsaw trim, windmill and barns, is now the Heritage Farmstead Museum, and the Shawnee cattle trail once threaded the farms. Plano’s farm-town roots are the mark on this piece.

More From Plano Texas

All Plano Texas Items

What turned a farm settlement into a town was the railroad. When the Houston & Texas Central Railway reached Plano in 1872, it connected the Blackland farms to distant cotton and grain markets and made the town Collin County's commercial hub almost overnight; warehouses, gins, and a depot rose where there had been open prairie. Plano incorporated on June 2, 1873, with C.J.E. Kellner as its first mayor. For the rest of the century it grew as a cotton, wheat, and milling center — a busy little market town shipping the prairie's harvest out to the wider world under a very big Texas sky.

The land was Blackland Prairie long before it was a town — a stretch of Collin County that drew settlers under the Peters' Colony land grants of the Republic of Texas. Families from Kentucky, Tennessee, and across the older South arrived in 1845 and 1846, breaking the tough prairie sod for wheat, corn, and cattle, and William Foreman put up a sawmill and gristmill that became the settlement's nucleus. The frontier era that opened the prairie to these farms also displaced the Native peoples who had long lived across North Texas, a hard fact of the period. A post office came around 1852, and the first physician, Dr. Henry Dye, is credited with proposing the name that stuck: plano, for the flat country all around.

Why People Visit Plano

Plano rewards visitors who want Texas history without the crowds of a tourist town — a genuine 1891 farmstead, a brick Main Street rebuilt after the great fire, an electric-railway museum, and nature preserves on the old Blackland Prairie. People come for the Heritage Farmstead and the downtown arts district, for the September balloons over the prairie, and for an easy, welcoming North-Texas day with real roots behind it.
