McAllen Auto Shipping

McAllen is a city located in Hidalgo County, Texas, and according to the United States Census Bureau the city is the 19th largest city in the state of Texas as well as the 185th largest city in the United States. McAllen also stands as the principal city of the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission Metropolitan Statistical Area, which had a population of over 710,000 at the time of a 2008 US Census Bureau estimate.

McAllen was originally based on agriculture until oil was discovered in the town around the turn of the 20th century. After the oil was found, the city became a major player in the oil industry, though agriculture was still its primary source of revenue, and until the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement was still the main economic source. After the signing of NAFTA, however, a Foreign Trade Zone was erected, where business could take advantage of NAFTA and cheat the system by manufacturing goods using relatively cheap labor. This effectively destroyed the economy of McAllen for a number of years, though recently it has overcome this particular problem and today its economy is once again thriving.
