McAllen: Rio Grande Valley Commercial Center
McAllen is the largest city in Hidalgo County and one of the main commercial hubs of the Rio Grande Valley, with approximately 147,000 residents. The city was founded in 1904 and grew on citrus and vegetable agriculture, aided by the arrival of rail connections and irrigation systems drawing from the Rio Grande. The binational metropolitan area that includes McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, and Reynosa across the Mexican border exceeds 1.5 million people.
The Anzalduas International Bridge and the McAllen-Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge cross the Rio Grande, linking McAllen to Reynosa in Tamaulipas. Commerce, retail shopping by Mexican visitors, and maquiladora-linked business services drive the local economy. La Plaza Mall on the north side is the largest shopping mall in the Rio Grande Valley and draws shoppers from both sides of the border.
The McAllen International Museum of Art and Science, the McAllen Nature Center, and Quinta Mazatlán, a historic estate converted into a World Birding Center site, sit within or near the city. The South Texas College system operates a main campus in McAllen and enrolls roughly 28,000 students.
