Winter Garden Region

The Winter Garden Region is an agricultural area in South Texas (USA) located north of Laredo and southwest of San Antonio.

At the same time, Dimmit County farmers began to use artesian aquifers and dams to provide water for irrigated crops.

[1] The number of farms in Zavala County tripled between 1900 and 1930 due largely to the division of the 96,000-acre (390 km2) Cross S Ranch into 10-acre (40,000 m2) plots.

Although cotton production dominated in Frio County, the region's most important crops were onions, cabbage, spinach, beets, and strawberries.

Corporate ownership of large farms became increasingly common after World War II, with major companies such as Del Monte establishing canneries close to the fields.
