A city in the north Dallas (TX) suburbs of about 120,000 people. IH-35E, SH 121 & the President George Bush Turnpike intersect here. It received its name from the hometown of early settlers, who came from Carrollton, Illinois. The name was officially established on May 16, 1878, when the first U.S. Post Office opened in Carrollton. A lack of city planning by past councils and city officials has led to minor and major developments from becoming a reality. As a result, the residents must all go to a bordering town or city to see a movie, go to the mall, or eat at a restaurant that is not chili's or fast-food. This has given the city the nickname of "the doughnut hole,” because while it is in the center of many cities, there’s nothing there. School districts are also messed up. You can live in the city of Carrollton, and be in the Lewisville school district, although all the nearby schools are in the Carrollton one. Many churches, as well as a mosque. has the usual Hispanic and African minority population. There are also significant Asian populations, as well as many other minorities. Often reffered to as C-town on myspace, when listing location in order to make it sound cool
