Marilee - Celina
The community of Marilee was located about five miles north of Celina, where Preston Road enters Grayson County. County Line Road runs east-west. The north side of County Line Road is in Grayson County; the south side in Collin County. The St. Louis-San Francisco tracks run along the west side of Preston Road in this area.
At one time all of the Collin County land in the area belonged to J. R. Gough, who was an attorney and a state senator. He named the area for one of his daughters, Marilee. There was a Marilee Baptist Church on the west side of the train tracks.
