The Growth of Sanger, TX

When the town of Sanger was first founded, it was dependent on the Sante Fe Railroad as a link to markets. But as the original line began to decline, a state highway was built between Sanger and Dallas in 1920. This helped the town tremendously.

The town of Sanger used its fertile black, waxy soil of the area to grows wheat, oats, maize, millet, and cotton. This was used to help them participate in the markets around the area as well as their cattle and other livestock. 

By 1980 Sanger had forty-eight businesses in the town. The town had a community center, two parks, a public library, and a weekly newspaper. Sanger had begun to manufacture things like bank equipment, paper products, plastic molding, fertilizer spreaders, cabinets, sheet metal, and cabinets.

The population in 1980 was 2,574, which was an increase of about 60 percent since 1970. The rapid population growth over 10 years was due to being so close to the town of Denton, TX. In 1990 the population was 3,508. The population grew to 4,534 in 2000.
