History[edit]

I checked and rechecked and now I am just confused. How has this history remained since 2014? Fort Parker massacre (as per the link in history section) occurred at Fort Parker, "near Mexia and to Limestone County seat Groesbeck, Texas." Google maps says that (by current highways) Fort Parker is 66.5 miles west of Elkhart, Anderson County. How does that count as "Elkhart is closely tied to nearby Fort Parker"?

I don't have the research at my fingertips... but I'm pretty sure that Elkhart's "tie" to Fort Parker has to do with Daniel Parker, and others who (I think) came to and established Elkhart after the massacre at Fort Parker. This needs some research to know what should be here, but the current history is not accurate.Katrazyna (talk) 07:47, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have time to add more but this should give it a start in the right direction. Katrazyna (talk) 01:12, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

==[edit]

I don’t get it. It says “Named for a friendly Native American who assisted the early settlers of the area” and then says “The history of Elkhart starts with Daniel Parker's Pilgrim Predestinarian Baptist Church” — so obviously there were people there when Daniel Parker arrived.

I know nothing about the area, but I thought we’d moved past the point of talking about the history of the Americas as if it began with the arrival of European settlers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.113.203.36 (talk) 23:41, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
