Mulkey for his native town in Tennessee. 20 years later, the town was shifted to the railroad. Residents received electricity by Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative in 1937. The first school in Celina was a small wooden structure that was in the neighborhood of the Jeff Malone residence. The town grew steadily after World War II. Currently as of 2017 census, Celina has a population of 9,836. Celina has the 2nd largest geographic footprint in Collin County.
