Historic Driving Tour

THE HISTORY OF ALLEN
The Allen Heritage Guild has organized a driving tour
of the city with 15 historical stops around Allen, to
include many of the historic homes and locations that
have shaped Allen. Find the map online.
Allen’s history dates back to before the 1800s when
the region was inhabited by Caddo and Comanche
Indian tribes who eventually migrated west as
European immigrants began arriving in the 1840s.
The original township of Allen was established by the
Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1872 and
named for Ebenezer Allen, a state politician and railroad
promoter. Railroads have played an integral part in
Allen’s history; in fact, the first train robbery in Texas
took place in Allen on February 22, 1878, when
Sam Bass and his associates pillaged the train.
Allen is also home to what is thought to be the last
remaining stone dam in the U.S., which was once used
as a water station for the H&TC railway. The Texas
Historical Commission recognizes the remaining site
– which includes the dam and pump house and water
tower foundations – as a State Archaeological Landmark.

Allen Stone Dam
Allen Station Park
1120 N. Cedar Drive
Allen’s 1874 stone dam and
railroad water station is
designated by the Texas
Historical Commission as
a State Archaeological
Landmark and thought to be the only railroad water
reservoir dam left in the United States. Access the dam
from the trail system at Allen Station Park.
Allen Heritage Village
450 E. St. Mary Drive • AllenHeritage.org
Allen Heritage Village is a re-creation of the Allen of
the 1920s and ’30s. This collection of structures includes
the original St. Mary Church and the Allen Christian

rent for weddings and special events.
Allen Veteran's Memorial
AllenVeteransMemorial.org
The Allen Veteran's Memorial honors
all branches of military service
with five 18-foot granite monoliths
surrounding a 65-foot American
flagpole. Reflect and honor those
who served to protect America
in this beautiful, relaxing park setting.
