Battle of Matamoros

The Battle of Matamoros was a naval engagement during the Texas Revolution on April 3, 1836 between one ship of the Mexican Navy and one of the Texas Navy. The Mexican ship was outmaneuvered and repeatedly hit before running aground and abandoned. The Port of Matamoros, also known as LOS BRAZOS DE SANTIAGO, was the Mexican army's primary resupply base for the operations of General Santa Anna, who was finally defeated on April 21, 1836, outside of Houston at the battle of San Jacinto.

Brownsville – Veterans Port of Entry

The Brownsville Veterans Port of Entry opened in 1909 with the completion of the Veterans International Bridge at Los Tomates. The bridge was built primarily to divert commercial freight traffic away from the busy downtown bridges, but about a third of the passenger vehicles also cross at this point. The Veterans Port of Entry is the easternmost US-Mexico border crossing, and is by far the newest of the three crossings between Brownsville and Matamoros.
