Woodway is a city in McLennan County, Texas, United States. The population was 9,383 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Waco Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Originally founded in 1865 by Confederate [4] veteran Burl Kendrick, [5] Woodway was named by a committee of citizens [6] in the early 1950s. Following the Supreme Court decisions Brown v. Board of Education and Brown II, the city of Waco mounted an attempt to desegregate the public school system. [7] In response to the integration attempts, residents incorporated on June 20, 1955, under the name "Woodway," a portmanteau of the area's existing place names, Woodland West and the Village of Midway. [5]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.6 square miles (17.1 km2), all land.
