#throwback to a view of McAllen Gin Co. - approx 1915-1925. During this period McAllen's agricultural economy flourished, driven by cotton and other crops. Early settlement and economy: McAllen was founded in 1904 as a small farming community. Settlers were attracted to the fertile soil and favorable climate, and the economy was driven by the cotton and citrus industries. Expansion through railroads: The arrival of the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway in 1904 was a major factor in the area's development, turning McAllen into a key hub for trade and commerce. Agricultural growth: By 1911, an estimated 5,000 acres were under cultivation in East McAllen, with cotton being one of the major crops. The Valley Cotton Growers Association was established in 1915, and cotton production played a vital role in the U.S. economy, particularly during World War I.

Forest Bathing or Shinrin –Yoku is a practice that originated in Japan in the early 1980s. The practice was developed in response to the effects of the technological boom on people’s quality of life, aiming to reduce burnout, stress and reconnect people with nature. Engaging with our environment through multiple senses not only expands our ability to be present, but nurtures our relationship to the land and to each other.🍃✨ Explore Forest Bathing with a Relational Forest Therapy Guide, Thursday August 21st, 6:00pm to 7:00pm. #mcallenevents #shinrinyoku #healthandwellness #quintamazatlan #relationalforesttherapy
