History
Anacoco was named after Bayou Anacoco and the Anacoco Prairie, all of the names most likely being ultimately derived from the Spanish “Llano Cuco” (Raincrow Plain). The French rendered this as “l’Anacoco,” mistaking the initial letter as the French definite article, which English-speakers subsequently dropped as unnecessary.
