Biohazard Cleanup Near North Anna Anna, TX

Anna grew up along the Houston and Texas Central Railway in north-central Collin County - when the town was platted in 1883 it had just 20 residents, two stores, a steam gristmill, and a Baptist church.

Anna was incorporated in 1913, with John L. Greer - the settler credited with building the community's first home and store - serving as its first mayor.

The Anna Depot, built by the railroad in 1885, still stands and is recognized as the oldest extant railroad station in Texas.

One of the earliest Christian churches in Texas, Liberty Christian Church, was founded near Anna in 1846 by pioneer settlers Collin McKinney - the man Collin County is named for - and J. B. Wilmeth.

Anna's population was 16,896 at the 2020 census, more than double its 2010 count, and Census Bureau estimates put it at about 35,245 by July 2025 - growth of more than 105% in just over five years.

That explosive growth has repeatedly ranked Anna among the ten fastest-growing cities in Texas.

Anna has about 7,750 households, with roughly 78.5% of homes owner-occupied and a median household income of about $105,600, according to Census QuickFacts.
