Fun Facts for Future Renters

• The land where Princeton developed was mostly Wilson family farm land until 1881 when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Company extended its route through the town. Following this expansion, the community, known as Wilson's Switch, had to change its name because of another Wilson in Texas. It adopted Princeton in honor of the resident Prince Dowlin who owned land and was popular in the community in 1888. 
• Princeton was incorporated in 1912 and quickly became a center for business in the region. Much of the land around the town was good for farming, and Princeton catered to these residents' needs with a grain elevator and other amenities.
• Princeton was known for its production of bois d'arc lumber and onions. 
• The community has grown with the region. As Plano and Dallas have expanded and thrived, so has Princeton.
