At the 2020 United States census, the county's population was 1,064,465, making it Texas's sixth-most populous county and the 43rd-largest county by population in the United States. [1] Its county seat is McKinney. [2]

History

Native Americans

The Tonkawa were the first group of Native Americans that settlers arriving in Collin County became aware of and were, along with the Caddo, present in Collin County before the 1820s. [3]

Due to white settlement of land to the east of Collin County, the Cherokee, Delaware, and Kickapoo were pushed out of their hunting grounds in the east and moved their hunting grounds to include Collin County. The Comanche also had a presence in Collin County engaging in skirmishes against white settlers. [3] In the mid 1840s, a Kiowa chief named Spotted Tail moved his band to the area between Frisco and Prosper. [4]

Several Native American sites have been found, including around Lavon Lake and Sisyer Grove Creek. [5]

American settlement

Collin County was founded on April 3rd, 1846, with the land making up the county originally being a part of Fannin County. [6] [3] The original county seat for Collin County was Buckner, but was moved to McKinney in 1848 since Buckner wasn't within three miles of the county center. [7] [8] Both the county and the county seat were named after Collin McKinney (1766-1861), [9] one of the five men who drafted the Texas Declaration of Independence [10] and one of the 59 men who signed it. [11]

Initial settlement of Collin County saw occasional skirmishes between white settlers and Native Americans but they were never large scale and by the mid 1850s, the Caddo has withdrew from Collin County. [8]

The first settlers of Collin County were farmers who lived near streams and ran small family farms. Unlike the rest of the American South, slavery never took a strong hold in Collin County due to the lack of navigable rivers and railroads to transport cash crops to market where it could be sold. [8]

Civil War

Like many counties in North Texas, Collin County voted against secession from the United States. This is mainly due to the relatively weak hold of slavery in Collin County and the influence of James W. Throckmorton, who had represented Collin County in both the Texas Senate and the Texas House of Representatives. [8] [12] Nonetheless, Collin County sent men to fight for the Confederacy with Throckmorton himself leading his own company of mounted rifleman. [13]

In 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau determined 491,675 people resided in Collin County. [19] With the economic and population growth of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, its population increased to 1,064,465 at the 2020 U.S. census. [1] The population density as of 2019 was 1,229.8 people per square mile (474.8 people/km2). [20] Among the population, its median age was 37.3, up from the statewide median age of 35.1. Linguistically, 11.6% of the county spoke Spanish as their household language, followed by Asian and Pacific Islander languages. [21] Altogether 29.7% of Collin County spoke a language other than English at home, contributed in part by its large foreign-born population which made up 22% of the population according to 2019 estimates from the American Community Survey. [22]

The median income for a household in the county as of 2019 was $96,134, up from $70,835 in 2000. [23] Families had a median household income of $113,471, married-couple families $127,575, and non-family households $53,986. An estimated 6.3% of Collin County's residents lived at or below the poverty line from 2014 to 2019. [24] In 2000, about 3.30% of families and 4.90% of the population lived at or below the poverty line, including 5.10% of those under age 18 and 7.10% of those aged 65 and older.

Of its residential properties, the median value of an owner-occupied housing unit was $354,100 in 2019, with a total of 8% of owner-occupied housing units ranging from less than $100,000 up to $200,000. [20] In 2007, Collin County was ranked No. 21 for high property taxes in the U.S. as percentage of the homes' value on owner-occupied housing. [25] It also ranked in the top 100 for amount of property taxes paid and for percentage of taxes of income. Part is this is due to the Robin Hood plan school financing system in Texas. [26]

Politics

Like most suburban Texas counties, Collin County has consistently supported Republican candidates in presidential and congressional elections since the 1960s. The last Democrat to win the county was native Texan Lyndon Johnson in 1964. By the 2020s, Collin County had become considered competitive in national elections due to demographic and voting trends, though it remains Republican-leaning. [37] In down-ballot races, Republicans hold all of the county-level offices and all but one of the county's seats in the state legislature. [38]

Despite its Republican lean, Collin County has trended leftward, as Joe Biden managed to win 46.9% of the vote share (compared to Donald Trump's 51.3%) in the 2020 presidential election, the best result for a Democrat since 1964. Many other suburban Texas counties, including neighboring Denton and Tarrant Counties, as well as those around Houston and Austin, showed similar swings between 2016 and 2020. However, in 2024 many of these swung back toward Trump, though Trump carried Collin County by a somewhat smaller margin than in 2016. Democrat Kamala Harris still won over 40% of the vote in 2024, becoming only the second Democrat since Biden four years prior to do since 1964.

The following districts lie partly within the county:

In the 1990s Plano ISD received many non-Hispanic white families leaving urban areas. From circa 1997 and 2015 the number of non-Hispanic white children in K-12 schools in the county increased by 40,000 as part of a trend of white flight and suburbanization by non-Hispanic white families; however the same number of Plano ISD in particular decreased by 10,000 in that period. [43]

Colleges and universities

Transportation

With the Red Line operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) ending with its northern terminus at Parker Road Station in Plano, most of Collin County is not served by any public transit agencies as of 2023.

[50] [51] The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) in a 2022 meeting discussed the possibility of expansion of the Red Line corridor from Plano through Allen to McKinney. Either the Red Line or Silver Line could be extended north. [52] While the Red Line could be expanded further north into Allen, Allen is currently unable to levy the 1% sales tax required to become a DART member city. [53]
