About Sachse

Sachse got its name from a railroad deal. In the mid-1800s, Prussian immigrant William Sachse and his wife Elizabeth settled on the blackland prairie northeast of Dallas, where the family is credited with some of the area's early cotton gins. In 1886 William gave the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway land for its tracks on one condition: the new station would carry his name. The post office opened that year with the misspelling "Saxie" and was not corrected to Sachse until 1892. For decades it stayed a small farm stop with a bank, a few general stores and a telegraph office. Residents incorporated in 1956, when the town had about 250 people, and adopted a home-rule charter thirty years later. Once the Bush Turnpike and Highway 78 tied Sachse into the growing Metroplex, it took off, passing 27,000 residents in the 2020 census. Today it spans Dallas and Collin counties, and its neighbors still gather each October for Fallfest at Heritage Park. Much of what keeps the town running is local businesses, and this directory exists to help you find them.
