About Waco

Located in Central Texas about midway between Austin and Dallas, Waco - which takes its name from the Native American Hueco people - sits on the Brazos River amid rolling prairielands. The city of approximately 118,000 is also the seat of McLennan County. First settled by white men in the mid-19th century, the town didn't really take off until after the conflicts of the Civil War died down. It was then a city of corn, cattle and cotton, and even today, agriculture remains strong, despite being joined by business and professional pursuits. This new take has resulted in something of a revival. Waco now boasts a restored downtown warehouse district full of top-notch shops, restaurants and clubs. Near it, the scenic River Walk meanders along the Brazos, inviting a glimpse of local sights. For more outdoor attractions, head to Cameron Park for everything from disc golf to canoeing and hiking, along with celebrated Cameron Park Zoo. Area museums include the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum and the Dr Pepper Museum, which relates the story of one of America's favorite soft drinks. In addition, restored homesteads grant insight into Waco's past, and large, Baptist-affiliated Baylor University adds youthful vigor and culture to the fair city. Plus, a recent draw for the region is President George Bush's Prairie Chapel Ranch, which lies just a short distance away near Crawford, Texas.
