Gregg Street

By 1907, the driveway to the Mounts farm became Mounts Av. The two Mounts homesteads appear north of Gregg Av. Mounts farm was bounded by Gregg, the western side of Amarillo and the north side of Anderson. A major water tower provided fresh well water.

Gregg Street is the namesake of William Gregg, owner of the Gregg Ranch, which Robert Mounts managed for many years.

The John B. Denton College building was sold to the Denton City Schools to create the first Denton High School in 1912.

This triggered the residential development of Mounts Farm and Mrs. Mounts’ house was moved to create Mounts Av. to Congress St. and the development of Haynes, Anderson and Amarillo Street.

The John B. Denton College building was incorporated as part of the Denton High School. Walking to school created the need for new residential homes.

Gregg Street began as a delivery route and side street to support the Mounts Farm and later to service homes on West Oak.

Gregg Street developed with the creation of the schools and the WPA construction of sidewalks and curbs in 1936.

The Senior High School, now Calhoun Middle School, was built in 1924.

Former City High School became the Junior High School.

Gregg Street began to develop after WW II.
