A WORD FROM THE MAYOR

CONTENTS

Dear Welcomed Visitor,“Bienvenido,” a warm welcome to you! And if you haven’t arrived yet, well, let me be
the first to invite you; a visit to this community is a brush with celebrity, because we will
forever be known for our famous streets of Laredo. And as a visitor, you will get to walkwhere once pioneers, independent spirits, politicians, Native Americans, conquistadors,
modern day nomads, and country-men with sworn allegiance to seven different countries
tread over the last 261 years — these streets are imbued with a storied past heading
into a fascinating future.
Our current-day progress is much like any
American city — growing neighborhoods,
expanding businesses — but unlike otherplaces in the U.S., we have the good fortuneof being on the edge of the country. This is as
unique, with equally advantageous aspects,
as it is challenging, but it’s one of the reasons
we say that Texas begins here!

These streets areimbued with a storied
past heading into afascinating future.
This visit will bring you to mile marker 1 of Interstate Highway 35 and take you through amemorable time that we here in Laredo hope you will want to repeat. Whether you arehere on business, with a traveling team, or for a conference event, we want you to havea positive experience. So much so that when you leave, you are no longer a visitor,
but a friend!

2

We always welcome our friends! I wish you the best and safe travels; may you return to takein even more of the sights and sounds of Laredo, Texas.

Pete Saenz
City of Laredo Mayor

You may recognize the famous phrase “the streets of Laredo.” Walked by pioneers,
independent spirits, politicians, Native Americans, conquistadors, modern-day nomads,
and country-men with sworn allegiance to seven different countries over the last 261
years, these streets are imbued with a storied past heading into a fascinating future.
This mix with the present is evident to the many visitors today as they walk the various
streets and historic districts of this community on the edge of the country.

EL AZTECA LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICTThis predominantly residential neighborhood was established between 1870 and1940; of note are the frequency of Mexican vernacular architectural style homes andstructures. A major disruption to the area came with the development of Interstate
Highway 35 in the 1960s, when the neighborhood was bisected to install roadway
infrastructure. It remains a low- to moderate-income residential area today.

FORT MCINTOSH HISTORIC DISTRICTINTERACTIVE

If you like to involve yourself in the process of discovering and creating art, in Laredo you
are sure to find a great activity to enjoy.

HISTORYOLD MERCADO HISTORIC DISTRICT

During the 1880s, the city of Laredo began to expand northward from San Agustin
Plaza. The building of a new City Hall in 1883 and 1884 caused businesses, hotels,
and restaurants to relocate north of San Agustin Plaza. The City Hall area was known
as El Mercado because its rear portion housed stalls for vendors. The featured
structure of this district houses the Laredo Center for the Arts and the WebbCounty Heritage Foundation today.

SAN AGUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT

Receiving national designation in 1973, San Agustin Historic District is the oldest
section of Laredo and was founded by Tomas Sanchez in 1755. New Spain officiallydesignated the settlement as a villa and christened it San Agustin de Laredo
after a town in Santander, Spain. A plaza mayor, or central plaza, was laid out,
and porciones, or Spanish land grants, were issued to heads of households.
The anchor icon of the district today is the towering spire of San Agustin Cathedral
overlooking the plaza of the same name, San Agustin Plaza.

ST. PETER’S HISTORIC DISTRICT

Bounded by Santa Maria Avenue, the Texas-Mexican tracks, the Missouri-Pacifictracks and Hidalgo Street on the south, the St. Peter’s neighborhood was developed
between 1881 and World War I. The neighborhood was named for St. Peter’s
Church, on 1500 Matamoros Street, which was constructed in 1896 and 1897. It was
Laredo’s second Catholic church and the first for English speakers. Many of thehomes and the church structure remain in working condition today.
