Few communities in Texas have a history as closely tied to colonia settlement in the borderlands as Los Campos Number 1, 2 and 5 Colonia. This small locality lies in Val Verde County, north of Del Rio, amid the dry grassland and thorny scrub of Texas’s southern interior. The Rio Grande, which forms the international boundary with Mexico, runs south of the community and has long shaped the county’s borderland identity. In Texas, “colonia” is a term for a border-region settlement, placing this locality within the wider pattern of rural development beyond established city limits.
