Expert Tip. Harlingen is known as the City of Murals. Its history of murals goes back to 1928 when a colorful, cast-concrete frieze by Luis Lopez Sanchez was commissioned by the school district. In the 1950s, a local artist was commissioned by several businesses to paint historical murals. Several murals from the 1990s reflect the diversity of flora and fauna along the border. Many community murals were also painted in the 1990s.
