RAYMONDVILLE
GREW RAPIDLY
irrigation Is Expected To
Cause Still Faster
Development

Although regarded as the queen
of the dry land farming area OF
the Valley for many years past.
Raymondville probably will soon be
a part Of the big irrigated area
family since construction is under
way on the Willacy county irriga-
ton works for the largest district
In the Valley.
Even though she did not have ir-
r~igaticn. Raymondville enjoyed a
phenomenal growth and now that
water is soon to be available for
irrigating its lands 1t is expected
to attain new heights.
Village in 1920
Ten years ago. Raymondville was
still an unincorporated village. II
was not until nine years ago. in
1921, that Incorporation took place.
At that time valuations we're a
mere sl60 ,245. a small sum compared
with the valuations at the present
time. some 81. ZOO. 600.
From a population OF 400 souls
IL 1920, Raymondville has grown
rapidly, now numbering $500 per-
sons as her citizens.
Raymondville enjoys a commits
sion form OF government with M. II.
Dwyer as mayor.
Taking cognizance of the wonder
ful possibilities for future develop
ment. Raymondville went ahead and
organized a chamber of commerce
which is very active at this time
with Z. L. Bull as its president and
Hf2 B. Baxter as its secretary and
lnager.

Roads Being Built

This city has taken an intense
interest In the development OF VIII
lacy county since this territory she
regards as primarily hers.
Not only is irrigation coming to
Willacy county but roads are being
tuilt from one end TO the other.
One of Raymondville's fondest
dreams. and 1t is not impossible OF
realization, is the completion of the
Kennedy county gap OF the Hug-the-
Coast Highway. This would place
Raymondville on one OF the main
arteries OF travel in and out of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley rem
iniscent of the pioneer days when
the Old Alice road Travelled by stage
coaches ran near by.
Onions are the chief crop of Will
lacy county and RaymondvilIe cell
eorates annually with a festival
honoring King Noino. the regal
name being formed by spelling i
Ion backwards.
Many other vegetable crous and
citrus fruits are raised profitable in
Wniacy county. putting RAYMOND
vines progress on a firm foimda-
ton OF profitable agriculture.
