Fact text
- Walmart launched its very first grocery store concept, the Hypermart USA prototype, right here in Garland back in 1987.
- The city got its name because two rival towns couldn't agree on where to put the post office, so a visiting congressman had to come settle the squabble.
- Garland once had a Wet 'n Wild waterpark, apparently the fun dried up, because it closed in 1993.
- A major Dallas radio station built its antenna tower in Garland in 1937, and the thing is still broadcasting today.
