Well , the Waco Indians used to have large fields of corn and
vegetables near the river where the Suspension Bridge is now .
It had an ice cold spring nearby .( I used to swim in this spring
in the Summer , you could not stay in that water for long ) .
One day Stephen F Austin and a group of his land grabbing
ruffians rode over to have a look around . They joked that
this would be a great place to take over , they would even have
cold water for their brandy . The Waco Indians were not happy
with the white men’s intentions , and promptly kicked their
asses back to where they had come from . Years later the
Comanche forced the Wacos to move north to what is
present day Ft. Worth . That’s what happened to the
Wacos .
