Mirando City

Built around development of the Mirando oil field, Mirando City grew into an oil-boom community in Webb County, South Texas. The settlement lies in the inland brush country north of the Rio Grande, a region of mesquite-dotted plains shaped by ranching as well as energy production. Petroleum brought rapid growth during the early 20th century, leaving Mirando City with a distinct place in the history of South Texas oil exploration. Today it is a small community whose setting conveys the wide-open, rural character of this borderland region.
