The Plano thank you cards, for the town that was named for the flat black prairie it stands on. Thick-stock cards with the Plano vintage retro logo on the front in black, blank inside, envelopes included.

For the note after the weekend visit, the wedding, the graduation or the holidays: thanks that says where it came from. Choose the size, the finish and the count, and keep a box in the drawer so the note goes out the same week.

A thank you card set with vintage charm: the retro logo design printed on premium thick card stock (270gsm) with a smooth, high-quality feel. Choose matte, uncoated, or coated finishes, two sizes, and various count packs. Each set includes envelopes. The card is printed on the front and left blank inside and on the back for your message.

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.

Then, in 1881, fire nearly ended it. A blaze tore through the wooden downtown and destroyed all fifty-one of its business structures — only one survived. Rather than fold, Plano rebuilt in brick, and that decision is why Historic Downtown Plano still stands today, its oldest brick buildings dating to the 1890s. The rebuilt main street, the 1884 Schimelpfenig dry-goods building among its survivors, is a record in masonry of a town that refused to disappear.

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.
