History

Around 1905 local politicians and businessmen convinced the Texas legislature to build bridges over Cowhouse Creek and other streams, doubling Killeen's trade area. By the next year the town included a railroad depot, a saloon, several stores, and a school. Killeen expanded as it became an important shipping point for cotton, wool, and grain in western Bell County, Texas and eastern Coryell County, Texas counties. That same year one of its high school American football teams, the Killeen Kangaroos, won the 5-A state football championship. About 780 people lived in Killeen by 1900.
