About Alamo
Alamo (pop. 19,493 in the 2020 census) sits in the irrigated farm belt of southern Hidalgo County amid vegetable fields and citrus groves, and doubles as a noted winter resort/retirement town — "Winter Texans" flock here for the mild winters. It's a gateway city: US 281 runs through it toward Nuevo Progreso, Tamaulipas, and it is the gateway to the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge just south of town. Housing skews affordable, with many RV and mobile-home parks serving seasonal residents alongside single-family neighborhoods.
