Talk:Manchaca, Texas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My understanding is that this town was not named after José Antonio Menchaca but after Bayou Manchac in Louisiana. The "a" was added later by someone who did not understand the history of the name but assumed that it was named after José Antonio Menchaca but was misspelled. Is this true? Has anyone done the research?
