Welcome to Brownsville

Out of the ashes of the The U.S.-Mexican War, a gem was born along the banks of the once mighty Rio Grande. Brownsville’s semi-tropical climate, palm trees, ever-blooming bougainvilleas, exotic birds and warm Gulf breezes has been luring visitors year after year.

Steeped in a rich South Texas heritage and located at the south most tip of Texas, Brownsville is a perfect two nation leisure travel destination with Mexico just steps away.

Brownsville

Climate Brownsville has a subtropical climate just outside of a humid semiarid climate. The nearby waters of the Gulf of Mexico help keep Brownsville cooler during the summer relative to cities further inland such as Laredo and McAllen. Thus temperatures above 100 °F (37.8 °C) are uncommon, with an average of only 1.1 days reaching that level of heat.

History & Culture

Brownsville Heritage Trail The Brownsville Heritage Trail is a series of trails organized to take you past Brownsville’s most important historic homes and buildings. Each walking tour takes about ten to twenty minutes to complete. Many locations will have official markers with text descriptions to interpret the significance of these historic sites and events. A good place to begin is the Stillman House Museum or the Historic Brownsville Museum.

A second part of the Heritage Trail is a self-guided tour provided by the Brownsville Historical Association. This guide also provides reference points and directions to other historical sites and battlefields such as the Palo Alto National Historical Park and the Battle of Palmito Ranch. In addition, other attractions such as the Commemorative Air Force Museum and Costumes of the Americas can be found in the city.

Palo Alto National Historical Battlefield Park The course of Mexico and the United States was forever changed by the opening battles of the U.S.-Mexican War at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma in 1846. At the end of the U.S.-Mexican War, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed and the area where Brownsville is now located was confirmed as being American territory.

Page • 6

Battle of Palmito Ranch With the onset of the Civil War, Confederate cotton exports left via neutral Mexico (from the Port of Bagdad, at the Mouth of the Rio Grande,) to evade the Union blockade. Brownsville traders and intriguers prospered as part of the lifeline of survival for the Confederacy. The last battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Palmito Ranch was fought May 13, 1856, five weeks after the Confederate Army surrendered at Appomattox.

Historic Brownsville Museum Brownsville has attained a notable record for its adaptive use of old structures that resemble nineteenth century MexicanSpanish Colonial architecture. Traditions with formal and folk building practices from Texas forge a unique, Rio Grande Valley architecture style as seen in the reuse of the Southern Pacific Depot, which now serves as the Historic Brownsville Museum.
