What and Where is the Rio Grande Valley?

The region called the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) consists of four Deep South Texas counties: Starr, Hidalgo, Cameron and Willacy. Actually a delta along the Rio Grande River, the border between the USA and Mexico, the name Rio Grande Valley came to be in the early 1900s when land developers touted the region as The Magic Valley a place where citrus and other crops could be grown all year long. Read a brief history of the RGV

What we locally call the RGV, or The Valley, stretches from the Gulf of Mexico at South Padre Island 140 miles West to Zapata, Texas home of Falcon Reservoir. In between is a network of communities including Brownsville, Harlingen, Weslaco, Donna, Alamo, Pharr, McAllen, Edinburg, Mission and Rio Grande City. There are dozens of other, smaller, communities making this region one continuous metropolitan area.

What is a Winter Texan?

The term Winter Texan describes a person from outside of Texas who comes to spend the Winter here because of our tropical climate. These folks may come for several days, weeks, months or for the entire Winter Season (OCT - MAR). More Winter Visitors, commonly referred to as snowbirds, are discovering the South Texas Rio Grande Valley as a Preferred Winter Vacation Hotspot.
