 The southernmost city in Texas, Brownsville began as Fort Brown,
positioned to identify the Rio Grande as the US boundary when Texas
became a state. The establishment of the fort started the Mexican-American
War.
Today Brownsville
is the largest community in the Rio Grande Valley and a gateway
into Mexico. The area is also a favorite with birders who come to
have a look at the over 370 species who have been identified in
the region.
