WHITESBORO:
A CITY OF NICKNAMES
| |
|
|
Originally Nicknamed "Wolf Path" | |
The area received the 'Wolf Path' nickname because of a grove of trees and the sandy loam that favored rich grass production. That grass would attract the buffalo, which in turn attracted wolves.
Native Americans were known to hunt in the area because of the plentiful buffalo herds and the grove of mesquite trees from which they could hide.
| | | |
Also Called "City of the Divide" | |
When Capt. White arrived in Whitesboro, it was the perfect picture of the "wild and wooly west", and everyone had to be prepared for the protection of life and livelihood.
Strong central U.S. storms would bring rain that falls on what is now the south side of Main Street drains into the Trinity River, and rain that falls on the north side of Main Street drains into the Red River. Because of those watershed characteristics, it was nicknamed the "City of the Divide.
