Built around the arrival of the railroad in the early 20th century, San Diego grew into the county seat of Duval County in South Texas. The city lies beside San Diego Creek on the South Texas Plains, a low, semi-arid region shaped by ranch country and mesquite brushland. Its name recalls San Diego de Alcalá, and the community reflects the Spanish-speaking heritage that runs deeply through this part of Texas. Duval County became widely known for the political influence of George B. Parr during the mid-20th century. San Diego provides a direct introduction to the inland country west of Corpus Christi.
