The Story of Waco

Waco might be a small spot on the map, but it has a little bit of history! A post office, which is where people send and receive mail, was opened in Waco in 1891. This post office helped the people living there get their letters and packages.

However, the post office didn't stay open for very long. It closed down in 1902, after being in operation for about 11 years. Waco was named after a much larger city that you might have heard of: Waco, Texas.
