About Waco

Home to around 300 residents, Waco is a tiny, peaceful town in Cleveland County. It grew around the railroad back in the 1880s, borrowing its name from the famous Texas city. Today, it offers quiet country living and plenty of open space, giving residents a relaxed rural setting that is still just a short drive from everyday conveniences in Shelby and Cherryville.
