Английская Википедия:Boquillas, Texas
Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox settlement Boquillas was a small settlement in Texas, United States, located on the northern banks of the Rio Grande. It was located within Brewster County, five miles (8 km) northeast of San Vicente.[1] The place existed to service the mining operations at Boquillas del Carmen, Mexico, just across the Rio Grande.
Between 1901 and 1936, María G. Sada ran "Chata's Place", the only store and restaurant in the Boquillas area at that time.
Boquillas is now in Big Bend National Park. It is now usually known as Rio Grande Village, and consists of a ranger station and other buildings to serve visitors to the park.[2]
The Rio Grande border crossing to Boquillas del Carmen was closed in 2002. On January 7, 2011, the U.S. National Park Service announced plans to reopen the crossing.[3] After multiple delays, the unmanned border station was finally opened on April 11, 2013.[4][5][6]
