Immigrants began arriving in the Peters Colony area around 1850, but no community formed until 1874. Two rival towns grew up near the Santa Fe Railroad depot: Embree, named for the physician K.H. Embree, and Duck Creek, named for the local creek. To settle their dispute over the post office, Dallas County Judge Thomas F. Nash asked Congressman Joe Abbott to move it to a spot between them. The move was made in 1887, and the new location was named Garland for U.S. Attorney General Augustus Hill Garland. Embree and Duck Creek soon joined it, and the city of Garland was incorporated in 1891. It had 819 people in 1904.
In 1920 local businessmen paid for an electric generating plant, which led to Garland Power and Light, the city's municipal utility. On May 9, 1927, an F4 tornado killed 15 people, among them a former mayor, S.E. Nicholson. Business returned in the late 1930s with the Craddock food company and the Byer-Rolnick hat factory, and in 1937 the Dallas radio station KRLD built its antenna tower in Garland, still in use. Aircraft plants operated there in World War II, and Kraft Foods bought one afterward. The drought of 1950 to 1954 led the city to draw water from Lake Lavon. The postwar suburban boom nearly quadrupled the population, to about 38,500 by 1960, and it passed 138,000 by 1980. In 1987 Walmart opened its first Hypermart USA in Garland, its first attempt to sell groceries. Sources Wikipedia: Garland, Texas
