Cultural Amenities

Temperatures in McAllen are very mild and the area sees very little rainfall. March is the driest month, and September, due to hurricanes and tropical storms moving in from the Gulf of Mexico, tends to be the wettest. Seeing snow in the area is a very rare occasion, and only happened once between 1941 and 2004.

Modern day McAllen, TX is located on the parcel of land that was granted to Juan Antonio Villareal and Antonio Gutierrez in 1767 by Spain. These sections were known as porciones 63 and 64. The Gutierrez family was documented to have lived on the land up until about 1883. Heirs of Villareal reportedly lived on their portion of the land grant up to 1800, when the land was granted to JosA?A(C) Manuel GA?A?mez. Gomez established the Santa Anita Ranch, where he raised domestic livestock, and continued to be a driving force behind further colonizing the area.

SalomA?A(C) BallA?A-, great-granddaughter to Gomez, inherited the land shortly after wards. In approximately 1848, she married a businessman from Brownsville, John Young. Together, they continued to acquire more of the surrounding land, and applied for ownership of porciones 64 and 65 in 1852. In 1859, Young died living all the land to his widow and their son. John McAllen, who was Young's assistant in business, married SalomA?A(C) in 1861. They had a son together, and continued to add more land to their holdings. The ranch was renamed McAllen Ranch, part of which became home to present day McAllen, TX.

Today, the city offers a wide range of attractions including an Arts and Recreation Center, various modern and historical museums, Hidalgo International Bridge, birding center, and the Veterans War Memorial. Visitors can enjoy a challenging day on the golf course, fine cuisine, and plenty of shopping in the wide array of quaint shops and large malls.

Shopping is huge in McAllen: though the city is only the 20th most populous in Texas, its retail sales are the 12th highest. This is due to the fact that the city is a shopping destination for Mexicans visiting across the border.
