The History of Waco

Chip and Joanna Gaines put the often overlooked city of Waco on the map when they launched their HGTV show, "The Fixer Upper."

But Waco is full of rich history and significance that predates the Fixer Upper TV show by 100+ years:

• Home of Dr Pepper: Waco is the birthplace of Dr Pepper, which was invented there in 1885 by pharmacist Charles Alderton. You can visit the Dr Pepper Museum in downtown Waco.
• Mammoth Site: Waco is home to the Waco Mammoth National Monument, where visitors can see the fossilized remains of Columbian mammoths from the Ice Age.
• Suspension Bridge: The Waco Suspension Bridge, built in 1870, was the first bridge to span the Brazos River and was an important crossing for cattle drives on the Chisholm Trail.
• Baylor University: Waco is home to Baylor University, the oldest continuously operating university in Texas, founded in 1845.
• Cameron Park: One of the largest municipal parks in Texas, offering over 400 acres of trees, trails, and cliffs along the Brazos and Bosque Rivers.
