Texas: The Truth Revealed. Moran, Texas.
DID YOU KNOW???

Yes, the rumors are all true. There is an actual town in Texas called 'Moran'. I kid you not, 35 miles east of Abilene on I-20. Big as life. Near 'bout hurt myself laughing when I came upon that road sign.

2. Before it was Moran, it was knows as Hicks.
Originally the town was named Hulltown after its first merchant, Swope Hull. The name was changed to Hicks in 1891 and to Moran in 1892, for railroad president John J. Moran.
