Crystal City, County seat in Zavala County, Texas, United States.
Crystal City extends across southern Texas with an elevation of 170 meters, positioned 92 miles southwest of San Antonio and 35 miles from Mexico.
The city emerged from the former 10,000-acre Cross S Ranch when developers Carl F. Groos and E.J. Buckingham purchased the land in 1905.
The annual spinach festival occurs each November, celebrating the agricultural heritage that earned Crystal City recognition as a vegetable processing center.
The city maintains multiple crystal springs that supply irrigation systems, supporting the agricultural operations throughout the surrounding region.
A statue of Popeye stands in the city since 1937, representing Crystal City's position as the principal spinach production center in the United States.
