The city's population was 269,776 at the 2010 census, making it the ninth most populous city in the state of Texas (Corpus Christi was ranked at #8 and Laredo #10), and the 70th most populous in the United States.〔 The city is an affluent hub for many corporate headquarters, such as Alliance Data, Cinemark Theatres, Dell Services, Denbury Resources, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Ericsson, Frito-Lay, HP Enterprise Services, Huawei, J. C. Penney, Pizza Hut, Rent-A-Center, Traxxas, Siemens PLM Software, and Toyota Motors USA. ==History== European settlers came to the area near present-day Plano in the early 1840s.〔 Facilities such as a sawmill, a gristmill, and a store soon brought more people to the area. A mail service was established, and after rejecting several names for the nascent town (including naming it in honor of then-President Millard Fillmore),〔 residents suggested the name ''Plano'' (from the Spanish word for "flat"), as a reference to the local terrain. The name was accepted by the post office.〔 In 1872, the completion of the Houston and Central Texas Railway helped the city to grow, and it was incorporated in 1873.〔 By 1874, the population had grown to more than 500.〔 In 1881, a fire raged through the business district, destroying most of the buildings.〔〔 The town was rebuilt and business again flourished through the 1880s. Also in 1881, the city assumed responsibility for what would eventually become Plano Independent School District (PISD), ending the days of it being served only by private schools.〔 At first, the population of Plano grew slowly, reaching 1,304 in 1900, and rising to 3,695 in 1960.〔 By 1970, Plano began to feel some of the boom its neighbors had experienced after World War II. A series of public works projects and a change in taxes that removed the farming community from the town helped increase the overall population. In 1970, the population reached 17,872,〔 and by 1980, it had exploded to 72,000.〔 Sewers, schools and street development kept pace with this massive increase, largely because of Plano's flat topography, grid layout and planning initiatives. During the 1980s, many large corporations moved their headquarters to the city, including J. C. Penney and Frito-Lay, which encouraged further growth. By 1990, the population reached 128,713,〔 dwarfing the county seat of McKinney. In 1994, the city was recognized as an All-America City.〔 By 2000, the population grew to 222,030,〔 making it one of the largest suburbs of Dallas. Plano is surrounded by other municipalities and therefore cannot expand in area, and there is little undeveloped land remaining within the city limits. However, as of July 2012, one large tract of land was being developed. (Turnpike Commons ) at the intersection of Renner Rd and the George Bush Turnpike (bordered also by Shiloh Rd to the east). The development is expected to feature apartments, medical facilities, restaurants, a Race Trac gas station, and a hotel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plano, Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
