Laredo was founded in 1755 and became the capital of the independent Republic of Rio Grande in 1840. Laredo is one of the oldest border crossing points along the U.S.-Mexico border, and the nation's busiest inland port.
A leading commercial and tourist gateway to Mexico, Laredo is also a trade and manufacturing center which utilizes livestock, petroleum, and natural gas. The area produces automobile components, electronic equipment, clothing, and plastic products.
What one can't help but notice in Laredo is its distinct atmosphere reminiscent of Spain during colonial times.
The Nuevo Santander Museum Complex comprises restored buildings of Fort McIntosh; a photographic collection; the Guardhouse; and a science and technology museum. It also has a preserved building which now houses the Museum of the Republic of the Río Grande, formerly the republic's capitol.
Every February since 1898 Laredo and Nuevo Laredo have marked the birthday of George Washington with a two-week fiesta.
