Brownsville

Brownsville occupies the north bank of the Rio Grande in the far south of Texas, directly opposite the Mexican city of Matamoros. It is a principal city of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, a low-lying border region shaped by the river’s route toward the Gulf of Mexico. Downtown retains links to the 19th-century frontier town, while the nearby Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park preserves the site of the first major battle of the Mexican–American War in 1846. Brownsville’s Charro Days Fiesta, shared with Matamoros, celebrates the enduring cross-border connection through parades, music and traditional dress.
