EDINBURG UNVEILS 'MAYORS WALL' IN TRIBUTE TO CENTURY OF CIVIC LEADERSHIP

In a grand gesture commemorating the City of Edinburg’s storied past, Mayor Ramiro Garza Jr. and the Edinburg City Council unveiled a striking gallery wall installation, affectionately dubbed the “Mayors Wall,” on Monday, February 26, 2024.

Edinburg’s governance has evolved significantly since its inception on September 19, 1919. It initially embraced a Commission form of government comprising one mayor and two commissioners. This structure lasted until 1928 when a City Charter was adopted. Subsequently, in 1949, the current City Charter and the City Council-City Manager form of government were ushered in. Throughout these transitions, the unwavering dedication to serving Edinburg residents has remained paramount, and the enduring legacy of each elected official has been etched into the annals of Edinburg City Hall.

The event drew a considerable crowd, with dozens of family members of former city leaders and esteemed community members in attendance.
