As a municipality incorporated in 1969, Cut and Shoot is a city in eastern Montgomery County, Texas, United States, about 6 miles east of Conroe and 40 miles north of Houston. Until 2006, Cut and Shoot was considered and called a "town". Then, the town council elected for it to be considered and referred to as a "city". The population was 1,070 at the 2010 census.〔(Population Estimates Boundary Changes ), United States Census Bureau, 2007-07-01. Accessed 2008-11-06.〕 ==Name== According to one local legend, Cut and Shoot was named after a 1912 community confrontation that almost led to violence. According to differing versions of the story, the dispute was either over: *The design of a new steeple for the town's only church, *The issue of who should be allowed to preach there, or *The conflicting land claims among church members. Whatever the circumstances were, a small boy at the scene reportedly declared "I'm going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes in a minute!" This statement apparently stayed in the residents' minds and was eventually adopted as the town's name. It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cut and Shoot, Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
