TEXAS HISTORICAL MARKERS

Cameron County Historical Markers

NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 163
Have - 61  Need- 102
Picture
      Named for Capt. Ewen Cameron a member of the Mier expedition. County seat is Brownsville.
      We visited as South Padre part of our honeymoon in 2006 and it was at that really the very start of our very big hobby. We weren't as organized back then and when we visited Brownsville we were not prepared for the one way streets and the heat, so we only captured a fraction of the markers in this county.  The photos are not what I would like them to be either. So a repeat visit is in order I would reallyy love a second chance to explore this vibrant border town. 
     It would be overwhelming at this point to try and talk about the markers in terms of what is missing we have simply not had enough time to to look. A couple of old houses have definately been razed, these are the Armstrong House, Santos Lozano Building and Trevino House, these once had historical markers and for the sake of completeness have been included on this site. Cameron County Historical Commission has also been very active and have been busily dedicating new markers.

12th December 2022- We took a few days after the worse of COVID had passed and my managers were in place to visit South Padre which we had not visited since 2006. I love the beach down here and even through it is much busier than in 2006 it is still possible to find a quiet spot of beach to relax on. We revisited the Sea Ranch restaurant which we fell in love with in 2006 and it didnt fail to disappoint on this occasion. 
   As far as the markers go it is a complicated county. There are houses that are gone, there are areas that I'm not sure are safe to explore at the moment and the Cameron County Historical Commission is very active in recognizing the history that exists down here. I would love to spend some time exploring Brownville and now we live in Portland, Texas its a lot more doable. It been many years since we have been to Brownsville and even through it was very hot when we were there I remember it being vibrant, like I imagine Mexico to be.
