Farmersville will be Texas' next multi-gigabit city
WFAA-TV
Farmersville was once the onion capital of Texas. It was also, once, one of the most affluent cities in all of the state during the early 1920's.
It is once again making a name for itself. The city that boasts a population of 4,300 people will soon have access to fiber internet. Farmersville will be Texas' next multi-gigabit city with the help of a public-private partnership with Thrive Broadband
"That's a gamechanger for lifestyles here," said city manager Ben White.
That means high-speed fiber lines will be connected and available to all residences and businesses within the corporate limits of the city.

Successes, setbacks as city plans for future growth
Farmersville Times
2023 was a year of reflection for city leaders as Farmersville celebrated 150 years of existence through several sesquicentennial events and recognitions.
Traditional gatherings such as Old Time Saturday, Audie Murphy Day and Farmersville Lights all paid homage to the special year in the city’s history.
Jerry Shaffer, the namesake of the football stadium near Burnett Junior High School in Wylie, called it quits on his working life at 82 years old after serving his final day on the bench in December 2022. He was succeeded by Ellen Skinner, who officially took office Jan. 3. Ellen’s husband is longtime Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner.

Farmersville's old-time charm meets forward-thinking city leaders
Dallas News
Farmersville just may be a recent version of the Mayberry of Collin County, with its red brick streets in a downtown where it’s hard to find a parking space at lunchtime and on the weekends. The old buildings — some with recent improvements, but not all — are 90% leased.
There’s a farmers and flea market every first Saturday of the month except in January and October. It’s held in the refurbished long onion shed that dates back to the 1930s when the town was known as the onion capital of Texas. There’s also an old cotton gin. And Farmersville is the hometown of the most decorated World War II soldier, Audie Murphy.
