    • Piedra Negras had its beginning in 1850, when a Mexican garrison was placed here in response to the establishment of Fort Duncan, in 1949, just across the Rio Grande in what is now Eagle Pass, Texas. This river crossing was a major supply route during the American Civil War, with much needed supplies being shipped into the Confederate States of America via Mexico.

    The histories of both Piedra Negras and Eagle Pass are linked together, and today these "twin cities" maintain a friendly and muturally beneficial relationship.

     On my opinion Stephen-KarenConn not all the people who cross to the U.S go only to the dollar store some people actually have business's & own homes etc. it's wonderful artistic place/the clubs makes you feel alive and glad to be in mexico

     TO: Stephen-KarenConn Just thought you'd like to know ... my hometown is right across the border from Piedras Negras. Please feel free to let me know if I can be of any help to you while I'm down there.    		Brokaw Tue Apr 17, 2007 02:36 UTC
     Restaurant is no longer called Sam's -- there was some iron grille work that said "Sam's" but it is now called "La Hacienda" -- they didn't serve nachos, but had a very nice lunch/dinner buffet.
