When the town of Frisco first began in 1890, it was used for farming. Farmer Joe worked on the biggest farm in all of the rural town of Frisco. He sat on a tractor all day and when it was time to buy food for the pigs he had to drive very far to get to the big city of Dallas.

As many years passed, Farmer Joe began to notice that the town of Frisco was changing. It was becoming suburban! More and more farms were going away and being replaced with homes. Farmer Joe was very excited to have neighbors but was sad that his pigs did not have a lot of space to play.

As time went on, Frisco continued to grow. Farmer Joe was happy to watch his hometown grow but he hoped that it would not become a metropolitan area so he would still have room to grow his pigs. Also, as Frisco urbanized, Farmer Joe was able to travel less for food as the megalopolis around him grew.
