In 1848, McKinney was named the county seat of Collin County due to the original county seat of Buckner not being within three miles of the county's geographic center. On March 24, 1849, William Davis, who owned 3,000 acres (12 km2) where McKinney now stands, donated 120 acres (0.49 km2) for the townsite. That same year, McKinney would be incorporated and in 1859 McKinney was incorporated again. In 1913, the McKinney adopted the commission form of government.
Before the arrival of the railroad in 1872, McKinney saw little growth. After the arrival of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad however, McKinney became the primary commercial center of Collin County and stimulated massive growth in the city. Over the next 50 years, McKinney would become an agricultural powerhouse with its production of corn, wheat, and oats, placing Collin County among the top producers in Texas. Cotton also contributed heavily to the economy of Collin County with three new cotton gin being built between 1870 and 1876 increasing the amount of cotton gins in McKinney to 4.
With newfound prosperity coming from the railroad, McKinney started to build more infrastructure. Construction on the Old Collin County Courthouse begun in 1874 and in 1883, McKinney saw the establishment of the Collin County National Bank as well as the establishment of a telephone exchange. In 1889, the city installed electric lights.
By 1970, Plano had surpassed McKinney in population size. Throughout the late 20th century, McKinney experienced steady growth, increasing from 15,193 residents in 1970 to 21,283 by 1990. By the mid-1980s, the town had evolved into a suburban commuter community for individuals working in Plano and Dallas. In 1985, McKinney had a population of just over 16,000 and supported 254 businesses. Since then, the city's growth rate has accelerated significantly. In the 2000 census, McKinney had grown to 54,369 with 2,005 businesses and in the 2010 census the population had more than doubled to 131,117 residents. The Census Bureau's July 2015 estimate placed the population of McKinney at 162,898. A later estimate placed the city population as of January 1, 2019 as 187,802.
Both the city and the county were named for Collin McKinney, signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, and a congressman for the Red River district of the former Republic of Texas. He was the author of a bill establishing counties in the northern part of the state.
