Allen has a rich history since its incorporation as a city in 1953. The Allen community has grown and thrived under the stable, dedicated leadership of present and past Mayors/Councilmembers over the years. It is because of their service and that of the countless supporters, volunteers, and community involvement, that our City has become what it is today - a well planned community with emphasis on our citizens, education, and healthy economic growth. Furthermore, Allen continues to demonstrate a strong devotion to preserving our environment.
The historical highlights of the City of Allen Mayors at the links below along with a photo display in the City Council Chambers was provided as a project of Leadership Allen Class XVIII. Additional information about the City’s history is available through the City Secretary’s Office on the third floor of City Hall or by calling 214.509.4107.
