Congressman Gonzalez Urges Rejection of Boca Chica Beach Name Change
· Texas Border Business
U.S. Congressman Vicente Gonzalez from Texas has called on the U.S. Board on Geographic Names’ Domestic Names Committee to reject a proposal to rename Boca Chica Beach to 'Cyber Beach.' Gonzalez criticized the committee for providing less than 24 hours' notice before a scheduled vote on July 9, claiming the process lacked transparency. In his letter, he emphasized the importance of local input and historical significance, noting that Boca Chica Beach has been known by that name since at least 1936 and serves as a cultural landmark. The proposal originated from a Mississippi resident and faces opposition from local officials and SpaceX.
