🌎 McAllen’s history doesn’t just begin in the 1900s, it stretches back thousands of years. Archaeological evidence shows people lived and thrived here 10,000 years ago, long before McAllen became the city we know today. From the thorn forests to the Rio Grande, this land has always been home to resilience and adaptation. 🎙️ Learn more about the roots of our region in the latest McAllen Chamber of Commerce Podcast, now on YouTube! #McAllenChamber #McAllenHistory #SouthTexas #RGV #CommunityLegacy
