Settlers arrived in the Peters colony area around 1850 but a community wasn't created until 1874. Two communities sprung up in the area. One was name Embree named for the physician K. H. Embree, and one was named Duck Creek for the local creek of the same name. A rivalry between the two towns began as the area started to grow around the Santa Fe Railroad depot. Eventually, to settle a dispute over the local post office, Dallas County Judge Thomas Nash asked visiting Congressman Joe Abbott to move the post office to the middle of the two towns. This was completed in 1887. The new location was named "Garland" after Attorney General Augustus Garland. Embree and Duck Creek were combined to form the city of Garland.
