Local residents are preserving historical ties to the nation's founding. A family's ancestry is connected to the Rio Grande area, where their relatives established ranches. This legacy spans multiple generations, with some properties still owned by the family today.

The historical significance of South Texas is being highlighted by a local group. They are working to bring attention to the region's role in the country's early history. Further information about this effort is available from news outlets.

Details about the family's history and the local group's activities can be found through additional reporting from KSAT 12.
