Community Profile > About Saginaw
Founded in 1833, Jarvis J. Green hoped to name his small plot
of land "Pontiac", after his hometown in Michigan. Rejected by the postal
service, he finally decided on another Michigan town - "Saginaw".
 In the later half
of the 1800's, Saginaw was forever changed when the railroad decided to make
Saginaw the last stop on their south-bound routes to Fort Worth. Saginaw
prospered as the transportation dependent industry, such as grain storage and
milling facilities, moved in to be near the railroad.
Saginaw remains home to the largest grain storage facility in
the world! Burrus Mills, now Cargill, Inc., was the launching pad for the
western swing band "The Lightcrust Dough Boys".
The railroad continues to engage in active operations with
piggyback switching, freight services, railcar repair facilities and more. The
grain mills operate 24/7.
 Saginaw is now
one of the fastest growing communities in North Texas. Recognized for its small
town feel with big city amenities and its top rated public school system,
Saginaw is definitely once again "the city on the right track".
Saginaw gets its spirit from its citizens and business
community. Their interest and guidance enables an active exchange among the
