McKinney's home, formerly 17 miles (27 km) north, was moved in 1936 to Finch Park, where it was restored as a memorial. Many of the city's residents commute to work in Dallas or Plano, both located south of McKinney; its proximity to the expanding Dallas– Fort Worth metropolitan area spurred rapid economic and population growth beginning in the last decades of the 20th century.
