Eagle Pass, Border town in Maverick County, Texas, United States.
Eagle Pass extends along the Rio Grande river at 223 meters elevation, directly facing the Mexican city of Piedras Negras across the water.
The settlement began in 1849 when Fort Duncan was constructed as a military outpost to control trade activities along the United States-Mexico border.
The city maintains strong connections with Mexico through two international bridges that facilitate daily exchanges between populations from both countries.
Eagle Pass contains multiple hotels, restaurants, and retail centers that serve both local residents and international visitors crossing the border.
The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas maintains its tribal headquarters in Eagle Pass, representing Native American presence in the border region.
