Mabank exists because of a railroad. In 1900 the tracks bypassed the old town of Lawndale. Two landowners, G. W. Mason and Thomas Eubank, laid out a new townsite by the tracks and put their names together. Mason plus Eubank. Mabank. The town incorporated in 1911.
Mabank grew after Cedar Creek Lake was finished in 1965. The 2020 Census counted 4,050 people.
