Located in the southern part of the U.S. state of Texas, McAllen is one of the core cities of the Rio Grande Valley, just about 10 miles from the Mexican borderline, and is part of the Hidalgo County county seat. This multicultural city of approximately 140,000 people is known for its vibrant cross-border trade, agriculture and tourism. Thanks to its location, McAllen is an important hub for U.S.-Mexico trade, has a strong manufacturing and logistics industry, and is known as the "Winter Garden of Texas" for its abundance of citrus, vegetables, and other agricultural products. In addition, the city has abundant natural ecological resources, such as the McAllen Nature Center, a paradise for bird-watching enthusiasts; the unique integration of Chicano culture is also reflected in the local food, festivals and art, forming a unique border flavor. With a relatively low cost of living and friendly neighborhoods, McAllen is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in Texas.
