- McAllen, Texas
- This is one of the largest cities in the Rio Grand Valley, and also acts as one of the main economic areas in the Valley. It has a relatively large shopping scene with one of the top grossing mall per square foot in the country.
- San Juan, Texas
- This city is definitely a little smaller then the other cities on this list but it is one the list because it has one of the staples of the Rio Grande Valley, the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valley. This is the largest Catholic Church in the RGV and is important because a large percentage of the the residents in the Valley are Catholic.
- Harlingen, Texas
- This city is here because, this is most likely the first city you will see when going the Rio Grande Valley. Why is this? Its because Harlingen has the largest airport in the Rio Grande Valley. It not only has flights from American and United airlines as the other airports do, but it also gets flights from Southwest, which adds a new option for the people of the Rio Grande Valley.
- Brownsville, Texas
- Brownsville is the largest city in the Valley and the 16th largest city in Texas. It is the county seat of Cameron County, and is home to the Port of Brownsville. The port is one of the most important ports in the country as it servers as a good port for commerce between Mexico and the U.S.
- South Padre Island, Texas
- South Padre Island is a resort town on Padre Island. It is one of the primary beaches in Texas and a popular destination for those living in the Rio Grande Valley. It is also one of the most popular spring break destination in the world, attracting thousands of students from all over the world.
These are just a few of the more popular cities in the Rio Grande Valley, but trust me there is a lot more to the RGV then just these cities.
