Mexia-limestone Co (LXY)
Private Jet Charter

With so many visitors mispronouncing the name, the city of Mexia employed the motto, “A great place to live, no matter how you pronounce it.” This Texan city was named after General Jose Antonio Mexia, a Hispanic hero that gained notoriety during the Texas Revolution. The town was founded near his estate, which ownership records show the estate was owned by Mexia since 1833. However, it wasn’t until the 1870s when more lots were purchased and a post office was established.
