Waco

Waco is a city in the Blackland Prairie region of north central Texas, in the United States of America. Founded in 1849 near the site of an abandoned agricultural village of Waco Indians, Waco rose to prominence in the 1870's as a major junction for the transport of cattle; by 1871 between 600,000 and 700,000 head of cattle had passed through the city.
