===Native Americans=== The [[Brazos River]] valley served as hunting grounds for several tribes, including [[Waco people|Wacos]], Tawakonis, and [[Nadaco|Anadarkos]].

From 1843 onward, the Tawakoni were part of treaties made by both the [[Republic of Texas]] and the United States. The [[Cherokee]]s arrived in the early 1830s.
