Answer : WACO
Waco is a city in, and seat (1850) of, McLennan county, north-central Texas, U.S. Waco lies along the Brazos River some 100 miles (160 km) south of Dallas. It was founded in 1849 on the site of a Waco (Hueco) Indian village near a Texas Ranger fort (1837) in a farming and plantation area.
After the American Civil War, Waco became a river-bridge crossing on cattle trails. Later its economy was based almost exclusively on cotton, and the coming of the railroad (1881) stimulated economic growth. Waco still depends partly on crops and livestock, but manufacturing (including clothing, machinery, tires, and glass) and service industries have broadened its economic base. In the 2010s the city experienced a significant boost in tourism owing to the huge popularity of the home-renovation show Fixer Upper (2013–18), which was based in Waco. The city is the site of Baylor University (Southern Baptist; founded 1845), McLennan Community College (1965), and Texas State Technical College (1965), located on the deactivated James Connally Air Force Base.
A violent tornado devastated Waco on May 11, 1953, killing 114 people. On April 19, 1993, after a 51-day standoff with federal agents, nearly 80 members of the Branch Davidian religious group perished in a fire at their compound near Waco.
Waco is the site of a municipal zoo, the popular Texas Sports Hall of Fame (1992), and the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum (1976). Other notable attractions include the Dr. Pepper Museum (where the soft drink was first bottled) and Baylor’s Mayborn Museum Complex, which includes a natural history museum and a historic village. Lake Waco, formed in 1923 by damming the Bosque River, is a recreational spot just west of the city.
