Geography of Allen

Allen sits in Collin County, about 20 miles north of downtown Dallas along U.S. Route 75, which cuts through the city and links it directly to the broader DFW job market. With a population near 113,300 in 2025 — up from 104,627 at the 2020 census — Allen has grown into one of the most affluent, fastest-developing suburbs in North Texas.

Free towing is included anywhere in Allen and the surrounding area. You can find more about local services on the City of Allen's official website.

History of Allen

Allen was founded in 1870 when a purchasing agent for the Houston and Texas Central Railway platted the town along the new rail line, and it was named in 1872 for Ebenezer Allen, a former Texas attorney general and railroad promoter. A post office opened in 1876, and by 1884 the town had grown to roughly 350 residents with three churches, a school, a chair factory, and a flour mill. Allen gained a strange claim to fame in 1878 when outlaw Sam Bass and his gang robbed a train there — reputedly the first train robbery in Texas history. The city was not incorporated until 1953.

Culture of Allen

Allen's economy today is anchored by corporate and retail growth rather than the ranching and rail-siding roots it started from. Experian Information Solutions is a major employer in the city, and Allen sits within a 20-mile radius of the corporate headquarters for Frito-Lay and Toyota Motor North America. Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm, a resort-style mixed-use development with more than 50 restaurants and shops, and the nearby Allen Premium Outlets have made the city a regional shopping and dining destination, while One Bethany East at Watters Creek opened in 2018 as a 125,000-square-foot regional headquarters for NETSCOUT Systems.

Hail is a documented risk in Allen — the area has logged 244 hail reports within 10 miles of the city center in recent tracked history, including a 4.50-inch stone, and Allen took a direct hit from an EF-1 tornado in 2008 that damaged roughly 50 homes.

Are there salvage yards in Allen that buy cars directly?

There are limited dedicated salvage operations inside Allen city limits itself — Used & Rebuilt Auto Parts at 1920 Hedgcoxe Rd is one local option — but most sellers get a faster, better cash offer from a direct buyer that comes to them rather than driving to a yard.
