Edinburg, Texas was founded in 1908 as a humble farming community in the Rio Grande Valley. Named after the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh, Edinburg quickly grew due to its prime location along the Southern Pacific Railroad and proximity to the Mexican border. The discovery of oil in the region in the early 1920s brought even more prosperity to the city, attracting new businesses and residents. During the mid-20th century, Edinburg became a center for education with the establishment of Pan American University (now the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley) in 1927. The city continued to grow and develop, with the construction of new schools, hospitals, and shopping centers. In recent years, Edinburg has seen a boom in population and economic growth, becoming a hub for healthcare, education, and agriculture in the Rio Grande Valley. Today, Edinburg is known for its rich history, diverse culture, and thriving community.
