Edinburg, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA

Edinburg is the seat of Hidalgo County in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. The community became the county seat in 1908 under the name Chapin and was renamed Edinburg in 1911. Ranching shaped its early economy before irrigation supported agricultural production and processing. Railroad connections and the development of a courthouse-centered town helped it grow as a regional civic and commercial center.
