Did the chainsaw massacre happen in Poth Texas?

The events depicted in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" are fictional and inspired by the real-life crimes of Ed Gein, but the movie is set in rural Texas, not specifically in Poth. While Poth is a small town in Texas, the film does not claim to be based on actual events in that location. The story revolves around a fictional character, Leatherface, and his family, and is intended as a Horror film rather than a documentary.
