Renner, Dallas, Texas

Renner is a section of Dallas, Texas within southwestern Collin County that was once its own community.

The namesake of the community, John A. Renner, developed townsites along the Cotton Belt line. A post office appeared in 1888.

In 1983 the city of Dallas annexed Renner. [" [http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/drc/localnews/stories/DRC_Towns_0216.c7b7dbbf.html Small towns disappearing across North Texas prairie] ," "Denton Record-Chronicle"]
