About Waco

Tucked into the quiet farmland of York County, Waco is a peaceful village with deep agricultural roots. It originally sprang up along the railroad back in the late 1800s, named by an early settler after Waco, Texas. Today, it offers a relaxed, rural lifestyle surrounded by open Nebraska skies, while keeping residents just a short drive from shopping, dining, and healthcare in nearby York.

For anyone looking for a quiet, close-knit place to settle down, Waco provides a welcoming small-town atmosphere where neighbors know each other and the pace of life slows down.
