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.
Much of the daily rhythm in town centers around its schools. Waco is home to Trinity Lutheran Grade School and Nebraska Evangelical Lutheran High School, which bring students, families, and community events to town throughout the year. 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.
