Comment
editUnder the education section the various private schools ought to be mentioned, specifically Regents Academy, a more recent addition which is doing rather well. Any objections? ---G.T.N. (talk) 23:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Coordinates
edit{{geodata-check}}
Please note that the coordinates in this article need fixing as: They are currently showing this Texas city in far northern reaches of Canada
- I've fixed the coordinates, the problem was caused by vandalism that had not been reverted. —Snigbrook 20:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Sentence fragment
edit"Nacogdoches remained a Caddo Indian settlement until the early 19th century. In 1716 when Spain established a mission there, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de los Nacogdoches."
I suspect that "19th" should be "18th", and that the sentence fragment belongs to the preceding sentence. Who knows? Unfree (talk) 03:01, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Marx Brothers
editThe Marx Brothers story is a legend. It is either not true or greatly exaggerated, and was developed decades after the fact by their biographers and the Marx Brothers themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.88.64.228 (talk) 23:32, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
Civil War
editNothing was mentioned about the Civil War, Reconstruction, or the Civil Rights era. I would think this is a very significant part of history for all parts of East Texas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.197.173.248 (talk) 19:58, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Name origin?
editWhat is the origin of the name? It looks vaguely Spanish, but I could not find a translation. Anyone have any leads? —EncMstr (talk) 23:14, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- "It is near or on the site of Nevantin, the primary village of the Nacogdoche tribe of Caddo Indians" . It's the second line in the "early years" section. 80.62.29.143 (talk) 19:15, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- It is therefore interesting and puzzling (to me, anyway) that the Caddo language does not have the sounds "g", "e", or "o", and does not use those letters. It seems as if the name might come from somewhere else, or (for example) might be a name that someone else (maybe Spanish speakers?) gave to the people or the place. It is also interesting that "Natchitoches" (not to be confused with Nacogdoches, as it says at the head of the article) is Caddo-related as well, and is given as the name of one of the Caddo dialects. Are Nacogdoches and Natchitoches perhaps both the same name, pronounced a bit differently?
- Unfortunately there are now only two persons anywhere who spoke Caddo at home as a child, as opposed to learning it later on in school. TooManyFingers (talk) 16:14, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
