Wetsel was a mill owner's square mile on the Austin to McKinney stage road
1880
Wetsel, Allen, Texas
![]()
Henry Wetsel built and ran one of the first grist and flour mills in McKinney, then sold out of the county seat and took a square mile of headright land south of it. He put a cabin on the stage road that ran between Austin and McKinney, and the community that gathered around it in the late 1800s never amounted to much more than a few houses. Allen's city limits have since closed over all of it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
