Farmersville Old Time Saturday Tractor Pull Results

Farmersville, Texas was founded in 1849 by a community of farmers along the Jefferson-McKinney road.  By 1873, the town was officially  incorporated and had elected John S. Rike as the first mayor.  In 1886, the Sherman-Shreveport & Southern Railroad came through Farmersville, and the town became a shipping point for cattle and bois d'arc posts.  By the 1930's, Farmersville had become an agriculture trading center, well known for area onion crops.  Each year, Farmersville celebrates the town heritage with an Old Time Saturday event, and becomes a stop on the LSGTPA tractor pulling circuit.  The track is located at Rike Field, along side the current Kansas City Southern Railroad.
