    We all know Texas is a big state. That's one reason I've never been to Wichita Falls Texas…read more Not that it's a great distance from Dallas. Only a 21/2 hour drive. However, it sits in a strange geographic area in the north central part of the state just over the Oklahoma border. Its not in a place that you ever have to pass through on your way to another part of Texas. Ever. As a result,even though I'm native Texan,I've never visited. I changed all that with a trip in search of long forgotten relatives. As always,when exploring new territory there are pleasant surprises. The lady that owns the world's tiniest sky scrapper filled me in on some important history of the area making a lot of things clear. Plus,I found a great burger spot. Wichita Falls is one of the last cities in Texas of its size stuck in the past. It truely feels like going back in time 40 years

    Wichita Falls "the gateway to Texas" is a really cool little ol' Texas Cowboy cattle & oil town…read morewith some really cool Texas Rodeos, yeehaw! It is also a filthy rich little Texas Cowboy oil town. Most business men "cowboys" that live here or have lived here own their own little planes and usually fly to Dallas etc., for meetings. My father used to live here. It's quite a trek by car to Dallas or OKC. So, most just fly. It's also the home of Sheppard Air Force Base. Home to Sheppard's Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program. This international flavored program is utilized by seventeen different NATO countries for the finest fighter pilot training in the world. It's a cute little Texas Cowboy town and, yes it does have a waterfall & water park. The City also has a fabulous twenty-mile-long trail system that winds through all the little Texas country neighborhoods, along little streams & pretty little lakes for use by anyone who wants to exercise, bicycle, or rollerblade etc., With an additional park system featuring 39 parks all within the city limits. And, there is more mountains, parks and lakes nearby to explore. A nature lovers dream. The legend is, that the land of Wichita Falls was won in a poker game by John A. Scott of Mississippi in 1837. Much later on, Scott's heirs discovered the lost certificates, and commissioned M. W. Seeley to map out a townsite on the Wichita River tract. Then, in July 1876, the townsite, as platted by M. W. Seeley, the original land, had a small waterfall on the local Wichita River, that was later washed away. Before the land was "won" in a poker game it was the Choctaw Native Americans. They settled this area in the early 1800s from their native Mississippi area. It was the Americans that negotiated the relocation of them, after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. That treaty was signed in 1830-1831. Then later, in the 1860's the American settlers arrived, mainly as cattle ranchers AKA, Texas Cowboys! And God bless 'em. We LOVE our Texas cowboys! yeehaw! :)) The city was named Wichita Falls on September 27, 1876, for the local Wichita River. There was a waterfall in the river's course in 1876. However, years later in 1886, a flood destroyed the original waterfall. After nearly 100 years the city built an artificial waterfall beside the river, in Lucy Park. They just sorta recreated the original water falls. They are 54 ft high and recirculate at 3,500 gallons per minute. They are visible to south-bound traffic on Interstate 44. A great little Filthy rich Cowboy town to visit with excellent mexican food. God Bless Texas! Recommend.

    I really hate writing negative reviews. The service at this facility has gone so far downhill that…read moreI don't even like going here to ship items, when needed. The PO Box service is all I'm using the place for anymore. I remember way back when they stayed open to 5pm. Perfect time for the working man/woman to get out of work and still get there to do busy. So now they close at 4:30pm, which doesn't allow for customers to get there to do business before the locked doors keep them out. There are other US Postal facilities in the area that ARE open until 5pm or later. So if you live in Burkburnett and work in Wichita Falls, look for the closest facility there. I don't know how many times I've sat in my car outside and see cars rush up between 4:31-5:00 and the customer get out only to find to a locked door. Seriously 10-20 people in that half hour daily. At this facility it's all about getting bonus checks for management.

    I filled out an online form to have my mail held while we were on vacation, and delivered once we…read morereturned. The mail was held, but it was never returned. Since they close early, I had to take off of work to go and ask for my collected mail. They were apologetic, for what that's worth. Recently, I've moved to a different address within Burk. I had mail forwarded to my new address, as did the previous owner. A month later, I'm still getting some of their mail and some of my mail is still going to my old address. Called the number and was put on hold for 56 minutes. Moral of the story is: This is what happens when the Federal Government takes control of ANYTHING.
