RIO GRANDE VALLEY The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) is located at the southernmost tip of South Texas. The RGV lies along the northern bank of the Rio Grande and extends for a distance of approximately 100 miles. The RGV is also called El Valle, the spanish translation of “The Valley,” and ocassionally referred to as “El Magico Valle del Rio Grande” (“The Magical Valley of the Rio Grande”).
Texas won its independence from Spain in 1821 and the RGV was disputed territory between Texas and Mexico. Texas claimed that the border with Mexico was at the Rio Grande River, whereas Mexico claimed that the border was at the Nueces River. This dispute was finally resolved in 1848 at the end of the US-Mexican War, with Texas being awarded the territory that is now the Rio Grande Valley.
The Rio Grande Valley encompasses several landmarks that attracts tourists, and is primarily known for South Padre Island. Other popular destinations include the Port Isabel Lighthouse, Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, and Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park.
