Where does the name Rollertown come from? 

For towns established in the late 1800s before the railroads were built, the founders of those cities could only guess where the railroad, the future lifeblood of these cities, might ultimately go. For small towns like Frisco and Celina, they founded their towns, built town squares, and built homes in one area only to later learn that the railroad would run through another area. They had a choice…they could stay put and see if they could try to survive, or they could go to the railroad and position themselves to thrive. 

So some of the towns out there put their physical buildings up on rollers and pulled them through miles of wet fields with traction engines to where the railroad would ultimately be. They literally rolled their towns in order to provide themselves, their families, and their communities the best opportunities possible. 

That’s where the name comes from. That life you want is right over there, so go make it a reality. All it takes is a little gumption, some audacity, and the willingness to take your shot.
