The influx of Czech migrants would also shape and transform the cultural heritage of the community for years to come. </p><p>In 1891, the H&TC chose Ennis to be its northern division headquarters. The machine shops and roundhouse employed several hundred men. One condition of the agreement was that as long as Ennis was able to furnish water the shops could not be moved from the community. The city built the first of three lakes for this purpose: Old City Lake in 1892, followed by New Lake in 1895, and Lake Clark (an extension of New Lake) in 1940.<sup id="cite_ref-tshaonline.org_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tshaonline.org-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However H&TC would later be acquired by the <a href="/wiki/Texas_and_New_Orleans_Railroad" title="Texas and New Orleans Railroad">Texas and New Orleans Railroad</a> (T&NO), a subsidiary of <a href="/wiki/Southern_Pacific_Transportation_Company" title="Southern Pacific Transportation Company">Southern Pacific</a>, in 1934.

By 1920, a total of 152,601 bales of cotton were ginned and shipped from Ellis County, the most of any county in America. In part to the city's significant contribution, the Ennis Chamber of Commerce adopted the slogan 'Where Railroads and Cotton Fields Meet." These two industries - trade and cotton production - produced immense wealth for the community that could be seen in the residential development of the city. Lawyers, doctors, businessmen, and other wealthy residents built churches of many different denominations and numerous fraternal organizations met regularly.

Three railroads initially laid tracks and operated to and from Ennis—the Houston and Texas Central (H&TC) running north to south-east, the <a href="/wiki/Texas_Midland_Railroad" title="Texas Midland Railroad">Texas Midland Railroad</a> spurring to the northeast, and the Waxahachie Tap Railroad—later known as the Central Texas and Northwestern Railroad (CT&N)—coming in from the northwest.

Not only was the community strategically located in the middle of the Blackland Prairie, but it was located along the proposed H&TC line from Houston to Dallas—the first rail connection between both cities. However, the railroad's decision to establish Ennis meant that the nearby town of Burnham—located five miles south near the present-day community of Ensign—would be bypassed. The issue of this decision presented itself when many businesses in Burnham were attracted to the railroad and relocated to Ennis. As a result, a mob of angry residents reacted violently to the railroad's bypass and attacked citizens in the city of Ennis, killing one and injuring several others. Burnham, an otherwise well-planned and relatively developed city, would eventually decline and become a ghost town in the coming decades.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1870—as the H&TC was laying track in Ellis County—residents of the neighboring city of <a href="/wiki/Waxahachie,_Texas" title="Waxahachie, Texas">Waxahachie</a> refused to give bonds to the railroad and resisted the development of a rail link to the system. After the railroad brought significant growth to Ennis and the decline of the bypassed community of Burnham took hold, attitudes changes as opportunistic businessmen and lawmakers chartered the Waxahachie Tap Railroad to link Waxahachie to the H&TC in an effort to reap some of the economic benefits. Construction was completed in 1879, establishing a 13-mile connection across Ellis County between both cities. In 1881, the railroad would be reorganized into the Central Texas and Northwestern Railway and secured state legislation permitting the railroad to build out west into the <a href="/wiki/Texas_Panhandle" class="mw-redirect" title="Texas Panhandle">Panhandle</a>, but no further construction would be made on the railroad. Eventually, the CT&N was merged into the H&TC in 1901.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1882, the H&TC began construction on a spur line which would span over 100 miles from Ennis to the city of <a href="/wiki/Paris,_Texas" title="Paris, Texas">Paris, Texas</a>, linking a southern terminus of the <a href="/wiki/St._Louis_and_San_Francisco_Railroad" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad">St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad</a>.

However, in 1885—just three years into construction—the H&TC went into receivership after only building half of the line, stopping just south of the city of <a href="/wiki/Quinlan,_Texas" title="Quinlan, Texas">Quinlan</a>. In 1892, the <a href="/wiki/Texas_Midland_Railroad" title="Texas Midland Railroad">Texas Midland Railroad</a> was chartered by businesswoman <a href="/wiki/Hetty_Green" title="Hetty Green">Hetty Green</a> who would purchase the northeastern spur from the H&TC. The link between the cities of Ennis and Paris would finally be made 13 years later. </p><p>After a decade of operation, the Texas Midland was bought out by parties interested in a link and partnership between the Frisco Line and <a href="/wiki/Chicago,_Rock_Island_and_Pacific_Railroad" title="Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad">Rock Island Line</a>. Plans were announced to build a line 65 miles south from Ennis to <a href="/wiki/Waco,_Texas" title="Waco, Texas">Waco</a> to connect with the recently established <a href="/wiki/Burlington-Rock_Island_Railroad" title="Burlington-Rock Island Railroad">Burlington-Rock Island Railroad</a>, a joint venture of the Rock Island Line and <a href="/wiki/Chicago,_Burlington_and_Quincy_Railroad" title="Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad">Burlington Route</a>. There was significant potential of Ennis becoming a major railroad hub and junction, which could have significantly boosted its already booming development. However, this southern extension would never come to fruition and the Texas Midland would eventually be bought out and annexed by Southern Pacific in 1928, which leased the line to its subsidiary Texas and New Orleans Railroad. In 1934, the T&NO would fully acquire both the Texas Midland and the Houston and Texas Central, dissolving both companies in a merger to consolidate the H&TC line into the Southern Pacific system and fully abandon the Texas Midland Route. While Ennis would continue to see T&NO service to Dallas and Houston, the northeastern spur from Ennis to Paris would sit abandoned and go unused for almost a decade. A washout of the bridge spanning the Trinity River would lead to the official abandonment and decommissioning of the line between Ennis and Kaufman in 1942.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The city was also served by the <a href="/wiki/Texas_Electric_Railway" title="Texas Electric Railway">Texas Electric Railway</a>, an extensive <a href="/wiki/Interurban" title="Interurban">interurban</a> railway network in North Texas that stretched over 200 miles in length at its peak.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The line historically ran through Ennis at street level along Dallas Street before running parallel to the T&NO tracks outside of the city center. From 1913 to 1941, Ennis was a stop along the Dallas-Corsicana Line, but the rise of the automobile, decline in ridership, and the economic strain of World War II led to the suspension of service and closure of the line. Like the Texas Midland's spur along Breckenridge Street, the interurban line ran along Dallas Street and was likewise paved over after service was suspended. However, these tracks were revealed and partially restored during street renovations in the late-2010s. </p><p>By the mid-20th century, the significance of the railroad began to decline in the city, as the postwar boom of the mid-century favored the automobile over the locomotive. Texas and New Orleans' <i><a href="/wiki/Sunbeam_(passenger_train)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunbeam (passenger train)">Sunbeam</a></i> and Hustler services were cut in 1955 and 1957 respectively, after serving the city since the T&NO's takeover of the H&TC. Passenger service would not return to Ennis, as attempts by <a href="/wiki/Amtrak" title="Amtrak">Amtrak</a> to restore service to the city were largely unsuccessful. Ten years after the T&NO's merger into Southern Pacific in 1961, Southern Pacific would initially resist attempts to route the <a href="/wiki/Lone_Star_(Amtrak_train)" title="Lone Star (Amtrak train)">Lone Star</a> along the line through Ennis in the early 1970s. In 1989, a spur of the <a href="/wiki/Texas_Eagle" title="Texas Eagle">Texas Eagle</a>—the successor of the Lone Star service—running from Dallas to Houston would run nonstop through the city during the alternate service's brief three-year stint in the early 1990s. Shortly after in 1996, Southern Pacific would merge into Union Pacific, who has since been the sole railroad operating in the city. Union Pacific would go on to commemorate the city's significant railroad history by honoring the legacy of its local yard workers—some of whom were fourth and fifth-generation railroaders - in awarding the city a membership to the company's Train Town USA registry in 2013.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ennis_September_2017_01_(Ennis_Railroad_and_Cultural_Heritage_Museum).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Ennis_September_2017_01_%28Ennis_Railroad_and_Cultural_Heritage_Museum%29.jpg/220px-Ennis_September_2017_01_%28Ennis_Railroad_and_Cultural_Heritage_Museum%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Ennis_September_2017_01_%28Ennis_Railroad_and_Cultural_Heritage_Museum%29.jpg/330px-Ennis_September_2017_01_%28Ennis_Railroad_and_Cultural_Heritage_Museum%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Ennis_September_2017_01_%28Ennis_Railroad_and_Cultural_Heritage_Museum%29.jpg/440px-Ennis_September_2017_01_%28Ennis_Railroad_and_Cultural_Heritage_Museum%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6000" data-file-height="4000" /></a><figcaption>Ennis Railroad and Cultural Heritage Museum located in former railway station</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Templeton-McCanless_Historic_District">Templeton-McCanless Historic District</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ennis,_Texas&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Templeton-McCanless Historic District"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Templeton-McCanless Residential Historic District is named in honor of two notable figures instrumental in the early development of the city, one of whom—<a href="/wiki/Hix_McCanless" title="Hix McCanless">Hix McCanless</a>—was the architect for several early homes built in Ennis from the late 19th century to early 20th century.
