According to the history on [1] Matamoros is named after the hero Mariano Matamoros and not after a saint. Kiekvogel 15:06, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Refugio
In my readings about the Rio Grande, I see Matamoros was likely named Refugio, but am refraining from entering this into the article until I can find a citation. --Ancheta Wis 10:59, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
The correct name was "Villa del Refugio".
