A Brief History of Richardson
Richardson began as a railroad town in the late 1800s and was incorporated in 1925. The city’s identity transformed in the mid-twentieth century with the growth of the Telecom Corridor, when technology companies like Collins Radio and later global firms established headquarters here. The University of Texas at Dallas, founded in the 1960s from a Texas Instruments research center, anchored the city as a hub for education and innovation.
With the expansion of DART Light Rail in the early 2000s, Richardson connected seamlessly to Dallas, Plano, and beyond. Today, it is one of the most diverse and technology-forward communities in North Texas, offering both historic roots and modern lifestyle conveniences.
