McNary, Texas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

McNary, Texas is a small town (pop. ~250) at the intersection of Interstate 10 and State Highway 20. It is two miles from the Rio Grande and twenty-three miles west of Sierra Blanca in southwestern Hudspeth County, Texas. The area was initially settled in 1921, and named Nulo. The town was renamed to McNary in September 1923 when the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway installed a station in the area. It was named for James G. McNary, and served as a shipping point for cotton from the Algodon Plantation.
