    History

    The Spanish established a small settlement south of the Rio Grande in present-day Mexico, and some Spaniards settled on what became the United States side of the Rio Grande as early as the 18th century. U.S. development on the north shore of the Rio Grande did not begin until after the American Civil War.

    The San Felipe Springs, about 8 mi (13 km) east of the Rio Grande on the U.S. side of the border, produces 90×10^6 US gal (340,000 m3) of water a day. Developers acquired several thousand acres of land adjacent to the springs, and to San Felipe Creek formed by the springs, from the State of Texas in exchange for building a canal system to irrigate the area. The developers sold tracts of land surrounding the canals to recover their investment and show a profit. The initial investors (William C. Adams, John P. Grove, Donald Jackson, John Perry, Joseph Ney, Randolph Pafford, A. O. Strickland, and James H Taylor) formed the San Felipe Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Irrigation Company in 1868. The organization completed construction of a network of irrigation canals in 1871. Residents referred to the slowly developing town as San Felipe Del Rio because local lore said the name came from early Spanish explorers who offered a Mass at the site on St. Philip's Day, 1635.

    Del Rio

    by: St. Vincent

    We were down on tenth
    You told me I look spent
    Gave that look you give
    That rushed me to the river
    Del, del rio
    Del, del rio
    We filled our cups
    Drank to drinking up
    Then, when we were done
    We threw ourselves in the river
    Del, del rio
    Del, del rio
    Getting some strange looks back from the shore
    And you, you can smile
    Said look who's looking up
    And you, you saved my life
    Too many times to count
    Del, del rio
    Del, del rio
