This book discloses the humor and the sometimes controversial, if not curious, circumstances surrounding the naming of more than 700 Texas towns. From Abilene to Zephyr, Muleshoe and More provides little-known facts about each town such as the early history and claim to fame, as well as general information such as the geographic area and estimated population. Name pronunciation guidelines are particularly helpful.
