History of Mission

Mission was founded in 1908 and named after La Lomita Mission, a chapel built in the mid-1800s by Oblate Fathers along the Rio Grande. The same year, developer John H. Shary began rebuilding the region's old irrigation system to turn arid land into citrus farmland, and by 1910 the area was producing commercial grapefruit harvests. Mission has been marketed as the "Home of the Ruby Red" grapefruit since 1921, and the Texas Citrus Fiesta, started in 1932, still celebrates that agricultural heritage every year.

Culture of Mission

Mission's economy is tied to the broader McAllen-Edinburg-Mission metro, where healthcare represents roughly 30% of the workforce alongside retail, food and beverage production, and cross-border trade tied to Mission's position on the U.S.-Mexico border. The city is also home to Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, headquarters of the World Birding Center, a nine-site birding network drawing visitors from across the country to see the roughly 360 bird species recorded in the park.

Mission's location on the Rio Grande and its history as a citrus-growing region make it periodically exposed to tropical weather moving in from the Gulf and the Bay of Campeche; Hurricane Beulah in 1967 caused major flooding across the Valley, and the region continues to see heavy rain events tied to tropical systems most hurricane seasons.
