They[discuss] developed around the land Euless owned, and the locals decided to name the city in honor of him.
In 2009 the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided against the City of Euless in Merced vs Kasson. The city had tried to prohibit Mr. Merced (a Santeria priest) from practicing religious animal sacrifice in his home temple.
