==History== [[Image:Jesus Trevino Rancho in San Ygnacio, TX IMG 3121.JPG|left|thumb|<span style="font-size:100%;">The Jesus Trevino Rancho is a national landmark at the intersection of Trevino and Uribe streets in San Ygnacio, Texas. This north side of the structure was accidentally peppered with tar by a truck early in 2010 and has now been restored.</span>]] [[Image:San Ygnacio Historic Marker IMG 3134.JPG|left|thumb|Historical marker in San Ygnacio]] San Ygnacio, originally a Mexican pueblo, was founded in 1830 by settlers from nearby [[Guerrero, Tamaulipas]] on the outskirts of the recently established [[Trevino-Uribe Rancho|Uribeno Ranch]]. Frequent [[Comanche]] attacks in the early days of San Ygnacio necessitated the use of defensive stone architecture which has endowed the present area with uncharacteristically enduring historical sites from that period. San Ygnacio is also historically notable for its involvement in the short-lived revolution of the [[Republic of the Rio Grande|Rio Grande Republic]], which was established at meetings which were convened in the town in 1839. San Ygnacio played an important role in the [[Garza Revolution]] from 1891 to 1893. Multiple small battles were fought near the town in both Mexican and American territory. San Ygnacio was attacked in June 1916 by either Mexican [[Carrancistas]] or [[Plan of San Diego|Seditionists]]. On June 10, approximately 100 Mexicans fought a [[San Ygnacio Raid|losing battle]] with about 150 American soldiers from the [[14th Cavalry Regiment (United States)|14th Cavalry]]. San Ygnacio was the site of the filming of the 1952 film ''[[Viva Zapata]]''. Although many of San Ygnacio's neighboring municipalities were evacuated and consolidated in the deliberate 1953 flooding of the region which created [[Falcon International Reservoir|Falcon Lake]] and [[Zapata, Texas|"New" Zapata]], San Ygnacio's residents petitioned for the right to remain on their land, which was high enough to escape substantial damage. Having survived, its architectural heritage was acknowledged in 1972 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, being the last standing collection of Mexican Ranch vernacular architecture, representing the 19th century settlement of the lower Rio Grande valley. Its oldest building is now a National Historic Landmark, the [[Treviño-Uribe Rancho]], built 1830. The private River Pierce Foundation works to continue the restoration of the San Ygnacio Historic District.
