Located in the Rio Grand Valley in southeastern Hidalgo County, the town of Mercedes was officially incorporated in 1909, although a town known as Mercedes had been established in 1904. Settlers, under the guise of several ranches and land companies, had inhabited the area since the late 18th century.
