A Town with a Story

Before it became Addison, the area was part of Peters Colony, with its first settlers, Preston Witt and his wife, arriving in 1846 along White Rock Creek. In 1902, the Town was renamed to honor postmaster Addison Robertson, and that same year, the Pistole brothers introduced its first industry by building a cotton gin on Addison Road. Officially incorporated as a city in 1953, Addison rebranded as the “Town of Addison” in 1982, evolving from a quiet outpost to a thriving hub at the center of DFW’s growth.
