Most likely, those small towns are located near the old tracks of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, also known as the Katy. Following the Civil War, railroads were a really big deal.
Nobody knows why the city of Katy is called Katy. Some say it was named for the railroad. Some say it was the name of a saloon keeper's wife..
It was 4-5 yrs ago that we were there. I just always wondered about that. We travel alot and I'm always curious about the names that pop up here and there.
Isn't Renee Zellweger from Katy, TX?
