Wichita Falls, TX

Overall Score

3.7

Youchetto Falls is the administrative center of the county of Uchetto. It is located in the area of the river Ojaito, in the area of the waterfalls, which gave it its name at one time. Unfortunately, a flood in 1886 washed away the unique waterfalls, and in the late 20th century an artificial 16-meter-tall replica was made for tourists.

In 8 kilometers from the downtown Ouerto Falls, there is a U.S. Army Air Forces base in Shepherd. Regional airlines are served by the citys airport, located just outside of Chepford Air Force Base.

This small, by U.S. standards, city is not lacking in traffic. In the middle of the 20th century, the City Council sold the rights to build several cars through the center of the city. This fact almost makes it impossible for a traffic collapse to occur.

In the mid-18th century, the Ouitto lands were taken over by the Indians under a treaty with the American government and given to the skittish pirate rulers for settlement. In 1882, a branch of the Forth Worth-Denver Railroad was laid there.

The main occupation of the citys businessmen — trading, food processing, and a small part of the Texas oil industry. Today, most oil wells are abandoned and used as storage facilities for petroleum products. ×The region has been deprived of the opportunity to grow. That said, Lake Lucia Falls has plenty of places for recreation and entertainment. There is a 100-acre park on the shore of the lake. Its main feature &mdash are the hiking trails that run along the entire south-north shore of the lake, adjacent to Lake Lucie Park on the Lake Wichita River, where a copy of the famous waterfalls are located. Plus, there are racquetball, golf, foosball and racquetball fields.

New Mexico City is a 1919 red brick building in the railroad depot, known as the smallest skyscraper. The result is a curious show by the builder Mac MacMahon, who promised a height of 150 meters to investors. But in reality, the drawings of the new four-story building are 5.5 meters high, 10 meters long and the front is only 3 meters wide.

Other notable features include the 1901 Kelle Family Museum-Colonial Monument, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, exhibition galleries at the Kema Museum of Art, and the Museum of North Texas History, which even includes the wedding dresses of the first colonists.
