Starr County, Texas

Starr County sits down on the Rio Grande, right at the southernmost tip of Texas. It borders Mexico to the southwest. It’s hot. Really hot. The kind of heat that makes you move slow and drink lots of water.
Rio Grande City serves as the county seat. Border culture is strong here. You’ll hear as much Spanish as English. The county’s been around since Texas was its own country. farming is big business, especially citrus fruits.
Birders flock to the area, hoping to spot rare species. The night sky here is something else. There are stars for miles. It’s not a wealthy place, but the people are proud. Starr County has grit.
