History of Waco, Texas.
WACO, TEXAS
Waco is in central McLennan County about seventy miles south of Dallas near the confluence of the Brazos and Bosque rivers
The city is built on the site of an ancient agricultural village of Waco Indians
About 1830 a group of Cherokee Indians moved into the area and drove the Wacos from the village
2 on a small tributary of Tehuacana Creek, eight miles south of the old Waco village ( see TORREY TRADING HOUSES)
A log smithy was erected at the present site of East Waco in 1846 by Jesse Sutton, a blacksmith
Chambers qv sold a two-league grant of land, including the old Waco village site, to John S
The property owners had earlier chosen Lamartine as the name of the new town, but Erath was successful in persuading them to call it Waco Village
When McLennan County was organized in 1850, Waco Village was selected as the county seat after De Cordova and his partners in the Waco townsite donated free lots in the town for public purposes
By 1852 the town had Methodist and Baptist churches, and in 1854, when the town was growing rapidly, George Lambdin began publishing the Waco Era , the town's first newspaper
Handbook of Texas Online:
Current and historical information about McLennan County.
Waco, the county seat, is on the Brazos River at the intersection of Interstate Highway 35 and U.S Highway 84, ninety miles south of Dallas and 100 miles north of Austin
The county's center lies three miles west of Waco at 31°33' north latitude and 97°12' west longitude
In 1824 the Indian village at Waco had 500 to 600 residents, but it was abandoned by the mid-1830s
A temporary ranger station called Fort Fisher was built near the former Waco Indian village in February 1837, but it was abandoned in June of that year
The Republic of Texas qv tried to establish local government in the region in 1842 by establishing a judicial district known as Waco County, but later that year the Texas Supreme Court declared such counties unconstitutional
Plans for a permanent townsite at the former Waco Indian village were made in 1848, when Jacob Raphael de Cordova qv and several others became involved in a project to sell land in the area at a dollar an acre
Erath, qv one of the surveyors for the project, suggested Waco Village as the name of the settlement, in honor of the previous inhabitants
