According to my Texas Almanac Collin County was created from Fannin County and organized in 1846. It was named for pioneer settler Collin McKinney. McKinney is the county seat. Towns in Collin County are Allen, Anna, Blue Ridge, Celina Fairview, Farmersville, Frisco (partly in Denton County), Garland (partly in Dallas County), Josephine (mostly in Hunt County), Lavon, Lowry Crossing, Lucas, McKinney, Melissa, Murphy, Nevada, New Hope, Parker (partly in Denton County), Plano, Princeton, Prosper, Saint Paul, Westminister, Weston, Wylie.
