The town of San Juan was established in 1910 with the sale of 406 acres of land to the San Juan Townsite Co. by area entrepreneur named John Closner.

The Incorporation of the City of San Juan occurred on December 29, 1917, and was titled as a City by action of the San Juan City Commissioners on February 18, 1919. The City of San Juan is located in the rapidly growing Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
