abstract
With the end of the U.S.-Mexican War, a new international border was created along the Ro Grande that led to the rise of a dynamic binational frontier in South Texas, a region which encompasses the territory along the river from Brownsville to Del Ro, northward to San Antonio and southeasterly to Victoria. This study examines the rise of this binational border during the period from 1848 to 1930 with emphasis on economic development, Mexico's impact on the region, and social origins of the immigrants.
