\nBeginnings
\nThe city of Waco is built on the site of an ancient agricultural village of Waco Indians. About
\n1830 a group of Cherokee Indians moved into the area and drove the Wacos from the
\nvillage. Fort Fisher, a Texas Rangers outpost and the first white settlement in the area, was
\nestablished in 1837, but was abandoned after only a few months. In 1844 George Barnard
\nbegan operating Torrey’s Trading Post No. 2 on a small tributary of Tehuacana Creek, eight
\nmiles south of the old Waco village. A year later Neil McLennan moved onto land nearby on
\nthe South Bosque River. A log smithy was erected at the present site of East Waco in 1846
\nby Jesse Sutton, a blacksmith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
