Harlingen: Cameron County Commercial Center
Harlingen sits in Cameron County in the lower Rio Grande Valley, with approximately 66,000 residents. The city was founded in 1904 and named for Harlingen, Netherlands, by developer Lon C. Hill, who believed the arroyos around the site resembled Dutch canals. Early agriculture focused on citrus and vegetable cultivation, supported by irrigation systems drawing from the Rio Grande.
Valley International Airport, on the eastern side of Harlingen, serves the lower Rio Grande Valley and was originally the World War II-era Harlingen Army Airfield. The Texas State Technical College-Harlingen campus and the UT Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine both operate in the city. UTRGV's medical school, established in 2016, has helped shift the local health care landscape by training physicians at the southern tip of Texas.
Marine Military Academy, a private boarding preparatory school, sits on a portion of the old air base. The Iwo Jima Memorial Monument on the academy grounds is the original full-size working model from which the sculptor Felix de Weldon cast the bronze memorial in Arlington, Virginia.
