Del Rio: Border City on the Rio Grande and Amistad Reservoir
Del Rio sits on the U.S.-Mexico border across from Ciudad Acuña in Coahuila, about 150 miles west of San Antonio. The city is the seat of Val Verde County and serves as a commercial center for a vast and sparsely populated region of West Texas. Del Rio was founded in the 1860s around San Felipe Springs, a series of artesian springs that produce roughly 90 million gallons of water per day and support irrigated agriculture in what would otherwise be desert.
Amistad Reservoir, a 64,900-acre international lake on the Rio Grande shared with Mexico, lies just northwest of the city. Amistad Dam was completed in 1969 as a joint U.S.-Mexico project for water supply, flood control, and hydroelectric power. The reservoir supports largemouth bass tournaments, diving, and cross-border boating within carefully regulated limits. A pair of obelisks on the dam crest mark the international boundary.
Laughlin Air Force Base, located about six miles east of Del Rio, trains more U.S. Air Force pilots than any other installation. The base's primary mission is undergraduate pilot training, with instructors and students flying T-6 Texan II and T-38 Talon aircraft across the West Texas skies. Laughlin is among the largest employers in Val Verde County.
The international bridge at Del Rio carries substantial commercial and personal traffic between the United States and Mexico. Del Rio made international news in September 2021 when up to 15,000 primarily Haitian migrants encamped under the bridge over a brief period, prompting large-scale federal response operations.
