Richardson, Technology hub in Dallas metropolitan area, Texas.

Description

Richardson spreads across two counties north of downtown Dallas and contains residential neighborhoods, business districts, and green spaces. The city borders Plano directly to the north and maintains connections to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system.

History

Settlers from Kentucky and Tennessee established farms here during the 1840s on the prairie. The arrival of the Texas Central Railway in 1873 transformed the scattered settlement into a permanent railroad junction.

Several highways cross the area and provide direct connections to Dallas and surrounding communities. Public transit serves key hubs within the city and offers links to the wider regional network.
