About Laredo, Texas
One of the state's and nation's fastest-growing communities, Laredo is a diverse city founded in 1755 with a colorful environment and semi-arid tropical climate that affords a pleasant lifestyle for all.

Steeped in a shared bilingual and bicultural history, a downtown revitalization project is currently underway and major commercial development projects are committed. While Laredo values its unique shared history, it is eager to explore new and exciting opportunities to advance, engage and grow the surrounding county, region, and state.
Located 156 miles south of San Antonio, 158 miles west of Corpus Christi, and 153 miles north of Monterrey, Nuevo León, México, Laredo is the nation's largest inland port and anchors an enviable crossroads of international business and life. Niche has recognized Laredo as one of its Top 50 Cities, noting its low cost of living and quality public schools, and SmartAsset just recently recognized Laredo as the 7th safest city among the top 100 safest cities in the nation.
