Edcouch centennial celebration set for September
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Edcouch is preparing to celebrate its centennial on September 26, 2026, with a Market Day and car show from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 520 Pacific St. The city was founded in 1926 when Edward Couch auctioned land that would become the town. The Southern Pacific Railroad's decision to develop small depots contributed to its growth. Agriculture has been vital to Edcouch's identity, with packing sheds and an ice plant established early on, supported by workers from Mexico. Major freezes in 1949 and 1951 shifted the focus from citrus to seasonal crops like vegetables.
