Waco, Texas Also see: Temple
This central Texas town at the confluence of the
Brazos and Bosque Rivers was named for the Hueco (pronounced Waco) Indians
who resided here before the days of recorded history, The Hueco were attracted
to this rich, fertile land. Although Spanish explorers named this site
"Waco Village" in 1542, over 300 years elapsed before permanent
settlement began. When settlement came, Waco was part of the Wild West,
with cattle drives, cowboys, and so many gunslingers that stagecoach drivers
called the town "Six-Shooter Junction." Attractions:
