The Plano tank, for the town that was named for the flat black prairie it stands on. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Plano vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Plano piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

This unisex jersey tank is made from lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with a retail fit, side-seam construction, self-fabric binding, and a tear-away label. It runs true to size for adults. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

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.

The twentieth century brought the electric Interurban, whose 1908 depot now houses a railway museum, and then a transformation no early Planoite could have pictured. As Dallas spilled north in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, the farm town became one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Sun Belt; corporate headquarters followed, the population multiplied many times over, and Plano grew into the ninth-largest city in Texas — home now to more transplants than native Texans. Yet the old bones show through: straight section-line roads, a preserved downtown, and, every September, a Blackland sky full of hot-air balloons rising over ground that was prairie long before it was a city.

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.

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.
