[de] Escobares

Escobares ist eine Stadt am südlichen Rand von Starr County im US-Bundesstaat Texas. Siedlungsgeografisch bildet sie ein östliches Anhängsel von Roma, der zweitgrößten Stadt des County. Historisch ist das Stadtterrain zwar Teil des alten, noch aus der neuspanischen Ära herrührenden Siedlungsgebiets unmittelbar am Rio Grande. Die Stadt als solche ist allerdings noch relativ jung und entstand erst 2005 – aus verwaltungstechnischen Gründen, um die Struktur der Region östlich von Roma übersichtlicher zu gestalten. Laut Schätzung des US-Zensus verfügte Escobares 2017 über 2.512 Einwohner.
