Our Sanco People Josephine Bird

Sanco Homecomers say, "I would come back here to live if I could just make a living." The marvel is that for on generation thrifty, determined, resourceful people could make a living and rear families on 150-320 acre farms and on-two section ranches. Those who came and settled here did it because here was a place they could get hold of a little piece of land where they could raise their families and leave their children with a chance at freedom and room for a future. There are 117 stories of them in the book, OUR SANCO PEOPLE. The name SANCO is an Anglicization of wither Sancho or Sanaco. Sancho was a Spanish hero; Sanaco, a Comanche chief.
