In 2006, Mary Margaret Dougherty Campbell researched and wrote this text for San Isidro Management, L.C., Sandia, Texas (actually situated in southern Live Oak County on the Sandia mail route, which is common in that part of the county). San Isidro Management developed Independence Plaza and San Isidro Ranch, the housing development nearby.
The words Mary Margaret wrote about Laredo History have now been bronzed and permanently placed at the entrance of the development in Laredo. Read and enjoy! These words succinctly demonstrate the historical efforts of a collaborative culture to live in peace and prosperity with each other.
