Hidalgo County, with a 2017 estimated population of 860,661, is the 7th most populous county in Texas. The county is named for Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the priest who raised the call of Mexico's independence from Spain. Hidalgo County is located in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas and is one of the fastest growing counties in the United States. Hidalgo County is bordered by Brooks County; Kenedy County; Willacy County; Cameron County; Starr County; Gustavo Diaz Ordaz Municipality, Tamaulipas, Mexico; Reynosa Municipality, Tamaulipas, Mexico; Rio Bravo Municipality, Tamaulipas, Mexico; and Matamoros Municipality, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The county seat of Hidalgo County is the city of Edinburg. The original county seat was moved from the city of Hidalgo, where a frequent danger of flooding occurred due to its proximity to the Rio Grande River. There are 22 cities and towns in Hidalgo County with the city of McAllen being the largest city with a population of 142,212. McAllen is located at the southern tip of Texas in the Rio Grande Valley, across from the Mexican city of Reynosa. The bi-national Reynosa-McAllen Metropolitan area has a population of nearly 1.5 million. The Rio Grande Valley began its rapid development with the introduction of irrigation in 1898, and the construction of the railroad in 1904. In 1941, a suspension bridge replaced an old bridge between the city of Hidalgo and Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Its construction resulted in increased tourist trade, making McAllen a winter resort, and the number two port of entry into Mexico in the 1950's.
