La Paloma is at the junction of U.S. Highway 281 and Farm Road 732, five miles southwest of San Benito in southwestern Cameron County.

Manuel Saldona, an early landowner, operated a local general store and named the community for the doves found in the nearby mottes of oak, willow, and huisache. La Paloma post office operated from 1912 to 1957. The community had a population of twenty-five in 1915 and twenty in 1925. In 1928 the San Benito and Rio Grande Valley Railway established a station in La Paloma. By 1940 the community had the post office, a school, two churches, five businesses, and population of 150. In 1971 La Paloma, with a population of 150, had five businesses; by 1973 its population had decreased to 110. In the 1970s part of La Paloma was a colonia, which had from 100 to 134 dwellings between 1970 and 1986 and an estimated population of 726 in 1976 and 450 in 1986. The colonia received its water services from the Military Highway Water Supply Corporation.

A big thank you to our very own Officer Gonzalez and K-9 Officer Zamora for making our Red Ribbon Week presentation so special! 🚔❤️

Officer Gonzalez truly went above and beyond for our students! Not only did he share an important message about making good choices and staying drug-free, but he also surprised our students with some goodies! A special thank you to him and his family for their kindness and generosity in making this possible. ❤️

We are so lucky to have Officer Gonzalez as part of our La Paloma family! Thank you both for taking the time to make this a fun and memorable experience for our Warriors! 💙💛
