Bordered by the Rio Grande and the Mexican border, Mission is one of four towns that make up the border county of Hildago. Considered one of the nation's fastest-growing cities, Mission is a major citrus producer -- it is even nicknamed the "Home of the Ruby Red Grapefruit." It is also home to the Texas Citrus Exchange and the Texas Citrus Fiesta Parade.

Mission provides some fantastic parks. Anzalduas Park, located along a bend in the Rio Grande, covers 96 acres and is a bird sanctuary. It also features a playground and picnic areas. With Mexico just four miles away, residents can cross into the country via the Anzalduas International Bridge to visit the city of Reynosa. Other destinations in Mission include the World Birding Center, the National Butterfly Center, the Mission Historical Museum, Shary Municipal Golf Course, and Mountain Bike Park.
