History of Carrollton:
Most local historians believe Carrollton received its name from the hometown of early settlers, who came from Carrollton, Illinois.
Several hundred industrious families shared a dream of prosperity. They planted crops, raised cattle and sheep, and built homes and churches.
One story told is about an early settler who came to scout the area before bringing his family to this area. He was so impressed with what he saw that he scooped up a handful of dirt to take back to his family to show them how rich the soil was for farming.
In 1900 George Myers and his brother J.S. filed a plat for property on what would become the east and south sides of the Carrollton Town Square.
The town square is still an active retail area.
