Laredo’s strategic location on Interstate 35 and the Mexican Federal Highway 85 makes it a natural meeting point for traders shipping products between the US and Mexico.The North American Free Trade Zone (NAFTA) made Laredo the terminal for transfer and shipment, and resulted in it becoming the largest inland port in America. Laredo accounts for 47% of all goods headed to Mexico from the US and for 36% of all goods entering the United States from Mexico. Because of NAFTA, it is also a city with one of the largest concentration of twin assembly plants.

The original town of Laredo was founded by Don Tomas Sanchez while it was still under the New Spain jurisdiction. The name comes from the city of Laredo in Spain.Laredo was the capital city of the Republic of Rio Grande in 1840 and was forcibly annexed into Mexico in the mid 1840s. The town was then annexed back into the U.S. by the Texas Rangers during the Mexican American war.At the end of the war, under the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, the area was returned to the United States.

In protest, the residents of the city crossed the Rio Grande and set up a new town on the Mexican side of the border, Nuevo Laredo.
