Frank Willis Mayborn (December 7, 1903 - May 16, 1987) was a 20th-century Texas newspaper publisher and philanthropist who played a crucial role in the development of Temple and Bell County, located north of the state capital of Austin.
Mayborn was born in Akron, Ohio to Ward Carlton Mayborn and the former Nellie Childs Welton. Ward Mayborn, who was an executive of the E.W. Scripps newspaper chain, moved the family in 1910 to the Westminster, a Denver suburb that is now the seventh largest city in Colorado. In 1919, the Mayborns relocated to Dallas, where young Frank graduated in 1922 from W.H. Adamson High School, then Oak Cliff High School in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas.
He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1926 from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Mayborn worked as a correspondent for several publications while in high school (Dallas Dispatch) and in college (Denver Post and United Press International). Thereafter, he was an advertising salesman for the Dallas News (since Dallas Morning News) and then served in management positions for the Northern Texas Traction Company in Fort Worth.
