What to Do in Mcallen

McAllen was named in honor of its Scottish founder, John McAllen, who donated land for the establishment of a rail line in 1904. He also built the depot close to his hotel, thus increasing his occupancy rate. Construction of the McAllen-Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge in 1941 made the town a major port of entry into Mexico and a center for tourism. McAllen's culture reflects a strong Mexican influence.
