Frisco City changed its name three times while waiting for a railroad. The town began as two mid-19th-century communities, Lufkin and Snider, and was first incorporated in 1909 as Jones Mill, named for the owner of the local gristmill.
On November 4, 1913, the town renamed itself Roy, after Roy Megargel, owner of the Gulf, Florida and Alabama Railroad, on the condition that he build a rail line to the town. When Megargel failed to deliver, the town went back to the name Jones Mill in 1919, sometimes written Jones Mills. Megargel's name did not stay on Jones Mill, though the nearby community of Megargel still carries it. In 1925 the Frisco Railroad bought the Gulf, Florida and Alabama and agreed to finish the line Megargel had promised. When the line was completed in October 1928, the grateful town formally renamed itself Frisco City. Sources Wikipedia: Frisco City, Alabama Wikipedia: Megargel, Alabama
