ocated near the junction of the Rio Grande and Rio Conchos, Presidio has been a frontier crossroads for centuries. The Spanish encountered Indigenous farmers here in 1590, ushering in a clash of civilizations involving Spain, Mexico, the U.S., and tribes including the Jumano, Apache, and Comanche. Today, Presidio is anchored by local businesses, U.S. Customs and Border Protection offices, and the Presidio Independent School District, which is the town’s largest employer.
