The Allen American is published twice-weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays and reaches over 11,200 households each week. Since its first edition in July, 1970, The Allen American has provided local news coverage to the citizens of Allen and the surrounding communities of Lucas and Fairview. Allen is located in the center of Collin County, just north of Plano along U.S. Highway 75 and State Highway 121. With a population of 35,000, a population which has doubled since 1990, the newspaper's goal continues to be to provide the kind of news which impacts the daily lives of its growing community. Editorial and advertising deadlines are three days prior to publication. Submitted information and photographs run on a space-available basis.
