This article is not 100% correct... the rest of Richardson is not dry... most of it is, but with the realignment of highway 190 some property that was formerly in Plano (and hence wet) was moved into Richardson. As the right to sell alcohol runs with the land (and not the city limit line) this right remained in place.... And as a result there is a beer and wine store at Coit and SH 190.

[edit] origins

I grew up in Richardson in the 1960s and '70s. My father often said that Buckingham was incorporated because the residents wanted to maintain an almost rural lifestyle, which would not have been possible had Richardson or Dallas absorbed the town. I do remember seeing horses and cattle and lots of open lots in Buckingham at the time, thus giving credence to my dad's statements. If this can be confirmed, it should be noted, and contrasted with how urbanised the area is now. 172.162.19.179RKH —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 21:13:58, August 19, 2007 (UTC).
