Brownsville

Brownsville takes great pride in being one of the most historic cities in Texas, as great battles of the Mexican-American War and the Civil War were fought here. As Texas's southernmost city, Brownsville is at the forefront of developing regional and national news with the proposed border fence cutting through its backyards, parks, and even potentially dividing its university grounds. Through all the dramatic chapters of its history, Brownsville has remained a family-oriented community with a relaxed pace and a friendly populace.
