McGregor, Municipal center in McLennan County, Texas
McGregor is a city in central Texas that spans two counties with residential neighborhoods, business districts, and industrial areas working together. The place functions as a regional hub where everyday residential life and economic activity coexist within a compact framework.
The city grew around the Bluebonnet Ordnance Plant, a World War II military manufacturing facility that produced military equipment. After the war, industries shifted and adapted, creating new economic foundations that shaped the community's development.
The Founders Day celebration takes place every third Saturday in September, bringing together local residents for community activities, food, and entertainment.
U.S. Route 84 and Texas State Highway 317 cross through the city, connecting it directly to Waco, Gatesville, and nearby towns. Travelers can use these main roads to enter and explore, or to reach other areas in the region.
SpaceX operates a major rocket engine development and testing facility here, where regular experimental test fires take place. This makes the city an overlooked hub of aerospace technology in the American South.
