Weslaco

Weslaco combines agricultural roots with a steadily urbanizing character in a way that reflects its position in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley. The city lies in the flat Lower Rio Grande Valley, north of the Rio Grande, where irrigated farming long shaped settlement and commerce. Weslaco was founded in 1919 by the W. E. Stewart Land Company; its unusual name preserves the company’s initials. Estero Llano Grande State Park, part of the World Birding Center network, protects wetland habitat and draws birdwatchers to the city.
