Rio Hondo Summary

Rio Hondo is a small city located in Cameron County, Texas, United States. It is situated on the banks of the Rio Grande, approximately 20 miles (32 km) north of Brownsville and the Mexican border.

History

Rio Hondo was founded in 1848 by a group of Mexican settlers who were looking for a place to settle and farm. The city was originally named “Rio Hondo de los Esteros”, which translates to “Deep River of the Marshes”. The settlers were attracted to the area due to its fertile soil and abundant water supply.
In 1852, the city was officially incorporated and the name was changed to “Rio Hondo”. The city quickly grew and by the late 1800s, it had become a major trading center for the region. The city was also home to several large ranches and farms, which provided the area with much of its economic activity.
In the early 1900s, the city began to experience a decline in population as many of the settlers moved away in search of better opportunities. This trend continued until the 1950s when the city began to experience a resurgence in population growth. This was due in part to the construction of the nearby Falcon Dam, which provided the city with a reliable source of water and electricity.
