No, it's not Texas City, Texas; it's a small town near Dallas with a name that says a lot without saying anything. Mildly displayed toughness that is quintessential "Texas".

There are plenty of super old towns in Texas but this one is older than the state itself.

Zapata's story is a fascinating blend of resilience and change, forever marked by the water that now cradles its lost history.

Gunfights were pretty common in 1800's era Texas. The biggest one in Texas however wasn't between the town sheriff and some outlaws, it was between cops and student protestors.

Today, visitors to Old Mesilla wander the sleepy little village, relax at the Plaza, visit the 173 year old San Albino church and relax. Some enjoy the amazing food at La Posta or sip a drink at El Patio, both located in buildings that go back to the 1800's. Pretty much everybody wants a souvenir though and the Billy The Kid gift shop has plenty.

Guns in schools? Drinking and driving? Leaving cars and homes unlocked? Smoking areas for high school students? Yep, all once totally normal in El Paso and Texas in general once upon a time.

Do you know where you'll find the oldest high school in Texas?

Wake Village is a small town in east Texas. I lived there from the early 70s to the early 90s and the history of the town was always fascinating.

I found this video of Texarkana from the early '50s and it shows a completely different Texarkana than I remember.

I found this video of the streets in Texarkana from 1873 until the current day and thought you would like to see the transformation of the town from its early railroad history to its present state.
