I know it isn't true and I know there was no chainsaw. I was just curious of what city they were saying it happened in.

The Facts
Sorry, there is/was no such person as "Leatherface", nor was there ever a real Texas Chainsaw Massacre in Texas or any other location in the world for that matter.
The story is VERY LOOSELY based upon Ed Gein, a man from Plainfield, Wisconsin in the 1950's, who murdered only a few women and used parts of their bodies for clothing and furniture. There wasn't even a chainsaw involved in the murders. Ed's story inspired many fictitional stories and movies including Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, the movie Ed Gein, Three on a Meathook, Deranged, and several others. He was eventually caught and put in a mental institution in Wisconsin. He never entered the Texas justice system as thought by many. Gein never even visited Texas in his life. He died in Wisconsin in 1984 in a mental institution of natural causes.
The story of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an original idea created by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel in 1973. Tobe knew of the story of Ed Gein and incorporated his idea of using a chainsaw to create the Leatherface character. If there ever was any "chainsaw massacre" of any kind, anywhere, it is totally unrelated, completely coincidental and had no bearing or impact on Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel's creative process during the production of their 1974 film.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a HUGE urban legend known by many people around the world. If your friend or family member swears that it happened, or they personally knew Leatherface in prison, etc., they're not alone. They're either lying or they themselves have been lied to.

I'm from texas and live not far from where it "supposedly" happened. It is right outside of Fort Worth, Off of highway 287, I don't think it really had a name. It was just an area a little outside of town where there really ain't nothing but fields. I grew up in the area and never heard of this happening before the movie (the original). I want to say between Saginaw and Ft. Worth. But not sure. I was showed several times, by different people, the same area where it was supposed to of took place.

Well it didn't really happen. The story it is loosely based on Ed Gein who did his killing and grave robbing in Plainfield, Wisconsin. Other than that in the mind of the writers. So that would be the place where it took place. Not in Texas. Sorry to disappoint.

because of the fact all people is accustomed to that in the time of Texas each and every little thing is larger than everywhere else! Even their horror memories and evil adult males are a lot greater larger and badder than those different pasties from the the remainder of the states.
