Waxahachie, TX - History


We would like to provide the residents of  Waxahachie  a basic history overview.


Welcome to the Waxahachie Home page. The Waxahachie Home page provides as much information as possible on Waxahachie. Knowing Waxahachie’s history is essential to guiding its future. Within Waxahachie’s Home page, you will also find Waxahachie’s Founders, Holiday, and Birthday sections.

Waxahachie has a population of 36735. 48.8% of Waxahachie’s inhabitants are Male, and 51.2 are female. 49% of Waxahachie is married and 57.5% own their own home. The Average Home price is $203,436, and the average rent is $1,129. Household median income in Waxahachie is $68,496, and the individual median income is $32,317. Waxahachie’s Ethnic is the following: White(77.7%), Hispanic(27.3%), Black(12.7%), Multiple(4.9%), Other(3.5%), Asian(0.8%), Native(0.4%).


Some sources state that the name means "cow" or "buffalo" in an unspecified Native American language. One possible Native American origin is the Alabama language, originally spoken in the area of Alabama around Waxahatchee Creek by the Alabama-Coushatta people, who had migrated by the 1850s to eastern Texas.


In the Alabama language, waakasi hachi means "calf's tail" (the Alabama word waaka being a loan from Spanish vaca).That there is a Waxahatchee Creek near present-day Shelby, Alabama, suggests that Waxahachie shares the same name etymology. Many place names in Texas and Oklahoma have their origins in the Southeastern United States, largely due to forced removal of various southeastern Indian tribes.


The area in central Alabama that includes Waxahatchee Creek was for hundreds of years the home of the Upper Creek moiety of the Muscogee Creek Nation. Again, this would suggest a Muscogee Creek-language origin of Waxahachie. "Waxahachie", therefore, may be an anglicized pronunciation of the Muscogee compound word wakvhvce from the Muscogee words wakv (meaning "cow" derived from the Spanish vaca) and the Muscogee word hvcce (meaning "river" or "creek").
