Starr County, established in 1848 following the Mexican-American War, is named after James Harper Starr, a prominent Texas Republic official. Located along the Texas-Mexico border in the lower Rio Grande Valley, the county encompasses 1,223 square miles of semi-arid brush country, fertile river bottomland, and rugged ranchland. Rio Grande City, the county seat, stands as one of the oldest and most historically significant towns along the Texas border.
The county's economy has historically centered on agriculture, ranching, and international trade. The fertile floodplains along the Rio Grande support irrigated crops including vegetables, citrus, and cotton, while the vast interior brush country sustains cattle ranching and hunting operations. Starr County's strategic location has made it a key corridor for cross-border commerce, with the Roma-Los Saenz International Bridge connecting Texas to Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Starr County boasts remarkable architectural and cultural heritage, with Rio Grande City featuring some of the finest examples of Spanish Colonial and Victorian architecture in Texas. The La Borde House, built in 1899, stands as an iconic landmark, while Fort Ringgold, established in 1848, played a crucial role in the region's military history. The county's vibrant Hispanic heritage is celebrated throughout the year with traditional festivals, music, and cuisine.
