Port of Brownsville

A major center for intermodal transportation and industrial development, the Port of Brownsville is the only deep water seaport directly on the U.S./Mexico border. Opened in 1936, at the southernmost tip of Texas and connected to the Gulf of Mexico by a 17-mile long ship channel, the Port of Brownsville is also the largest land-owning public port authority in the nation with approximately 40,000 acres.
