Description:Founded in 1849, Waco is located near an ancient spring on the banks of the Brazos River and has often been a city of contrasts.

It is home to the largest Baptist university in the world and once had one of the largest legal “red light” districts in the country. The city found itself in the middle of an 1896 “Crash at Crush” marketing gimmick that drew national attention and was later the site of a World War I airfield.
