Mart is a city in Limestone and McLennan Counties. The population was 2,273 at the 2000 census. The McLennan County portion of Mart is part of the Waco Metropolitan Statistical Area. Mart is a small incorporated city eighteen miles east of Waco. Settlement in the area began shortly after the Civil War. The community was known as Willow Springs in the 1870s, but the name was changed to Mart when a post office was granted in 1880. Residents chose this name because they expected the community to become an important commercial center.
