History
Image:Rio Grande City Ferry 1908.jpg
For much of the 20th century, a small ferry operation connected the cities of Camargo and Rio Grande City. Finally in 1966, a bridge was built by the Starr Camargo Bridge Company.{{cite web |url=http://www.txdot.gov/project_information/projects/border_crossing/riogrande.htm |title=Rio Grande City-Camargo Bridge |website=www.txdot.gov |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100528030409/http://www.txdot.gov/project_information/projects/border_crossing/riogrande.htm |archive-date=2010-05-28}} and a new border inspection station was built at that time. The station was upgraded in 2000.
