About Mirando City, Texas

Mirando City is a community of 222 people in Webb County, about 30 miles from Laredo. It takes its name from Nicolás Mirando, who held a Spanish land grant here. In April 1921 Oliver Winfield Killam, an industrialist from Laredo, brought in the area's first commercial oil well, and that strike launched the South Texas Oil Boom with Mirando City at its center.

Killam had already promoted a town called Locust Grove in Oklahoma, and he used the same plan here. He bought land in Mirando Valley and began laying out the streets of Mirando City that September. The town reached its largest size in 1929, when an estimated 1,500 people lived here.

  • The Kanoka #1 gusherCharles A. Ingersoll, known as Bob, was one of the early wildcatters who drilled for oil in Webb County. Webb County's first gusher came from his well, the Kanoka #1, which he drilled in the Schott pool.
  • A newspaper of its ownWeldon Pharr started the Mirando City Record on June 12, 1939. It was the only newspaper the unincorporated town had.
  • Its own schools, 1923 to 2005Mirando City ran its own school district starting in 1923. Mirando High School closed after the spring semester of 1994, so older students went to Webb CISD, while Mirando Elementary still taught children from kindergarten to 8th grade. The Texas Education Agency then ruled on May 9, 2005, that the district must close. It shut down on July 1, 2005, and all of the town's children moved to Webb CISD schools in Bruni and Oilton.
  • Lala's Cafe since 1953Eduarda "Lala" Rodriguez opened a Texas-Mexican restaurant on Main Street in 1953. In 1964 she moved it across the street to the spot where it still serves customers. Rodriguez died in 1973, and her granddaughter, Noemi "Mimi" Jackson, now runs the cafe, which the Webb County Historical Association honored with a historical marker on January 4, 2014.
