About La Joya, Texas
La Joya is a city of 4,457 people in Hidalgo County, sitting on U.S. Highway 83 with Mission to the east and Rio Grande City to the west. Its ground was once part of Los Ejidos de Reynosa Viejo, the common pasture where settlers grazed their livestock after JosΓ© de EscandΓ³n brought them to Reynosa Viejo on March 14, 1749. In the early 1800s Francisco de la Garza, a descendant of those colonizers, founded a community called Tabasco on the north bank of the Rio Grande. Tabasco prospered until floods struck in 1908 and 1909, and its families then carried their belongings a short way north to higher ground.
A Houston land developer named J. H. Smith came in 1926 and persuaded the residents that a city government would serve them best. They voted that year to incorporate as La Joya and chose Felix R. Vela as the first mayor, with Alejandro Solis and Pablo Trevino as commissioners. The Great Depression stalled the young city, and its government sat idle until 1965, when community leader Leo J. Leo and his neighbors petitioned the county judge for a special election. The judge agreed, and in April 1965 voters made Leo mayor.
- Named for a shining lakeLa Joya means "the jewel." The early settlers said that a small natural lake on the west side of town sparkled like a jewel when the sun hit it, and the city took its name from that lake.
- From 175 people to 3,303In the 1930s La Joya had two businesses, a school and scattered homes, and by 1940 it had seven businesses and about 175 people. The count held near that level until 1972, when it jumped to 1,217. The city reached 2,018 residents and thirteen businesses in 1982, and by 2000 it had 3,303 residents and forty-nine businesses.
- Roots in the EscandΓ³n colonyMany families in La Joya in the 1990s traced their ancestry to the settlers JosΓ© de EscandΓ³n brought to Reynosa Viejo in 1749. The name of their river community survives too: La Joya's children attend Tabasco Elementary School.
