Blanco (Pop 1505) has a colorful history worthy of two or three western movie scripts. It is a one traffic light town that has a look and feel unchanged for 100 years in a county sometimes known as LBJ country.

True Facts: Blanco was the scene of a famous shoot-out, two mob led jail breaks ending up in murder, several lynchings, Commanche Indian raids, a posse expedition crossing into Mexico after renegades and Comancheros, Civil War incidents and more.
