Kingsville.(South Texas & The Rio Grande Valley)
A drive southwest from Corpus Christi down US 77 takes you into the heart of the fabled King Ranch, an integral part of Texas history and one of the world's largest and oldest working ranches. It is considered the birthplace of the American ranching industry.
The gateway to this ranching country is Kingsville, built in 1904 on land donated by King Ranch owners. A thriving regional economic center with a university today, the community of about 27,000 gives visitors a look at the colorful history of the cattle and ranching industry of the state. Its restored historic downtown now sports antique shops and boutiques with a good selection of craftwork.
FUN FACT ABOUT KINGSVILLE
