Eagle Pass

Few cities in Texas have a history as closely tied to the Rio Grande border as Eagle Pass. The city stands on the river’s north bank opposite Piedras Negras in Coahuila, making the international boundary part of daily life rather than a distant line on a map. Fort Duncan, established by the U.S. Army in 1849, recalls the military importance of this crossing in the decades after the Mexican-American War. Today Eagle Pass remains linked to its Mexican neighbour by international bridges, while its streets reflect the bilingual, cross-border character of South Texas. The surrounding terrain is dry brush country along the Rio Grande. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Eagle Pass and the Rio Grande border relate to their surroundings.
