North Side
The North Side of Waco is actually northwest when looking at a map. This area started out as pasture and farmland when Waco was founded in 1849, but it was quickly developed starting in the 1920s. It was unharmed by the 1953 Tornado, but has, like the other two sides, fallen victim to Urban Decay as higher income earners moved out. The North Side is Waco's most diverse side, with a blend of many cultures and incomes. There are fourteen sectors in the North Side. They are:
- Austin Avenue (also called Castle Heights)
- Brook Oaks
- Brookview
- Cedar Ridge
- Dean Highland
- Heart O' Texas (also called Lake Air)
- Landon Branch
- Mountainview
- North Lake Waco
- North Waco
- Parkdale
- Richland Hills
- Sanger Heights
- Viking Hills

“The recent attempt to secure a charter from the State of North Dakota for a lottery company, the pending effort to obtain from the State of Louisiana a renewal of the charter of the Louisiana State Lottery, and the establishment of one or more lottery companies at Mexican towns near our border, have served the good purpose of calling public attention to an evil of vast proportions.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Every thought is public,
Every nook is wide;
Thy gossips spread each whisper,
And the gods from side to side.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
