Welcome to Dorado, Texas, home of the Kane family and the site of the first meeting between the Kanes and Morning Stars in Marshal of Hel Dorado.
Town of Dorado
Founded during the conflicts with Mexico in the early 1830s, the town’s insular nature and heavy ranch population defended it in the subsequent battles, many sons losing their lives in the battles of the Alamo, Nagodoches and Rue Hidalgo. Following Zachary Taylor’s Mexican invasion in 1846, the nation of Texas submitted to the United States, gaining entry to the Union as a state. Dorado didn’t much mind the independence, the annexation to the United States or the war with Mexico. Life in Dorado continued much as it had with Anglo ranchers, Tejano residents and even a portion of the remaining Caddos, Comanche and Woppatoma tribes getting along peaceably.
Incorporated in 1833, the Kane family served as the town’s official law enforcers. The ranchers agreed to the laws set forth by the town ombudsman Jebediah Kane. Dorado rolled up shop by ten, shuttering the windows and dimming the kerosene lamps.
The town had one bank in middle of Dorado’s main street. A scatter of corrals and sheds make up the western end of the town while a cluster of frame houses huddle on the eastern slope.  A livery stable, funeral home, gunsmith, barbershop, saloon with Mrs. Pontfour’s brothel tucked behind it and a bathhouse make up the rest of Main Street in addition to a solitary restaurant. Dorado also has a hotel that serves as the post office.
