The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Plano was incorporated in 1916. A large portion of the early settlers being natives of Plano, Illinois, caused the name to be selected.
The town hall building contains a museum that includes models, constructed from painted cereal boxes, of portions of the town as it appeared in the early 20th century.
