Nuevo Laredo is a town in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas with a population of almost 350,000 people. The city sits on the banks of the Rio Grande and is connected by bridges to its sister city, Laredo, Texas.
This area previously settled as part of Laredo was named Nuevo Laredo in 1848. An estimated 120 refugee families planted their roots and grew to a population of around 2,000 in the 1870s. The development of Laredo, from a small Spanish settlement to a bustling metropolitan city, is evident in its urban landscape. Central to the urbanization of Laredo was the development of a street grid based on the Spanish plaza settlement system. In 1767, Juan Fernando de Palacios, the governor of Nuevo Santander, New Spain, officially designated Laredo as a villa, laid out a central plaza, and issued porciones or land grants to settlers.
