Laredo Moving Quote
Laredo is located on the northern bank of the Rio Grande, near Nuevo Laredo,
Tamaulipas, Mexico. The 2005 population was
207,787 and the Laredo/Nuevos Laredo metro area has 575,585 people. The city is
84 square miles and sits at an elevation of 450 feet. It's known as "The
Gateway City" and "The City Under Seven Flags". The second nickname is because seven different
flags have flown over Laredo.
It was founded in 1755 and it was the Capital of the Republic of the Rio Grande and the
largest inland port along the United States/Mexican border. The city has four
international bridges and one railway bridge.
The weather in Laredo is semi arid in
summer and mild in winter. The Mexican mountains are located to the west and
the Gulf of Mexico is to the east. These
geographic elements affect the weather in Laredo.
The weather is dry and hot throughout the year because of Laredo's proximity to the North Mexican
deserts. Severe thunderstorms are common when rain does move into the area.
Winter temperatures range from 26 to 57. Summer temperatures range from 75 and
102 degrees, along with 20 inches of rain.
