We love Melissa, TX; Did you know we aren’t just lovers of porta potties and dumpster rentals. We love history…Melissa, TX is the site of Texas’ First Train Robbery
In the 1840s, when the Peters colony was opened to settlement, the rich soils of the Blackland Prairie and the waters of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River attracted settlers to the area that was to become Melissa, Texas. The town was laid out in 1872, when the Houston and Texas Central Railway reached the area. Melissa’s post office was built in May 1873. Its population was estimated at 100 in 1884. Just after the turn of the 20th century the community was connected by the Texas Electric Railway to surrounding Collin County towns and to Dallas to serve its growing population. By 1914 its population had reached 400 and unlike many rural communities in Texas, Melissa had electric lights, a telephone exchange and paved roads prior to 1920. It also had five churches, a large school, and a number of businesses, including a bank and two cotton gins that shipped 3,000 bales of cotton annually. The Great Depression, the mechanization of farming and greater job opportunities south in the Dallas area after World War II further slowed community growth. However, as a bedroom community, since the late 1990s Melissa has grown to more than 9,212 residents.
As Melissa, TX grows and more builders and developers fall in love with our beloved Melissa, we hope that all will use our family business to rent your porta potties and dumpster.
