Have you ever noticed that a lot of names in the south west are Spanish names and only the locals can pronounce of spell them and a lot of names in the north are Indian names and only the locals can pronounce or spell them

*The Piney Woods (Hey, GC and Cecil)

Noted, Edith.
You all can even visit Rhonesboro, the "Possum Capital of East Texas."
(Possum Festival every Fall.)
We live about 9 miles from Rhonesboro, but we don't claim any connection there.:basic05

And for those who like to pronounce the names of Texas cities, try:
Waxahachie, or
Mexia
