Raymondville is the county seat of Willacy County. It was established by Edward Burleson Raymond. Raymondville is also known as the ‘Gateway to the Valley’. Agriculture was the town’s major economy. The area became a trade center for local farmers. In the 1960s industries at Raymondville included a cottonseed-processing plant, manufacturers of farm implements, producers of leather goods, fruit processors, and children's clothing manufacturers. Because of its location near the coast, the town turned to a year-round recreation center. The Raymondville Historical and Community Center and the Reber Memorial Library are among the city's cultural institutions. Along the downtown, there are well-executed murals that brighten up the place.
