Waco

Waco is a city located in the U.S. state of Texas. It is the county seat of McLennan County. Historically, Waco is best known for the general public as the site of two different violent conflicts that occurred in February and April of 1993 between members of the Branch Davidians cult and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).

Waco is also the name of two different films of the Western genre. The first film to bear this title is the 1952 Lewis Collins movie Waco. Another film, also called Waco, was produced in 1966 and was directed by R.G. Springsteen. That film featured eponymous hero, Waco, who was a gunfighter from Wyoming.

In the 1986 horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, cooks from Waco, Texas participated in the Texas/Oklahoma Chili Cook-off.
