With a long rich history and heritage, the City of Wylie, Texas, owes its existence to the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe Railway. The city was incorporated in 1887 and has strong agricultural roots having once been known as the “Onion Capital of the World” as late as the 1960s. From its earliest days, Downtown Wylie was a popular community gathering place, and that continues to be true today. Today the historic downtown area encompasses several shopping and dining choices situated along Ballard Avenue, the city’s “Main Street.”
Wylie is one of the state’s fastest-growing cities and is ranked as one of the top twenty-five best places to live in the nation. Among the many desirable features of this charming small town are its many exciting community festivals, events, and holiday celebrations. Among the locals’ favorite annual events are Bluegrass on Ballard, Pedal Car Races, a Christmas parade, and the Wylie Arts Festival. The city also offers a seemingly endless list of recreational opportunities that include swimming, boating, fishing, and camping at Lavon Lake. This 21,400-acre lake is only slightly smaller than the 22,000-acre Lake Ray Hubbard, which is also in proximity and an excellent place to fish, boat, and water ski amidst picturesque natural beauty.
