—The Inn opened in 1906 as the Point Isabel Tarpon & Fishing Club to
serve travelers on the Rio Grande Railroad. As the Point's first and only hotel
for more than 20 years, it was the site for many significant events in the
town's history, including President-elect Warren Harding's vacation in November
1920. It also was the birthplace and headquarters for the Rio Grande Valley
Fishing Rodeo started in 1934 by the hotel's manager, Dr. J.A. Hockaday. The
rodeo is now the Texas International Fishing Tournament. Hurricanes in 1933 and
1967 changed some of the building's exterior features. Storms, modernization and
ownership are reasons for some floor and hotel name changes during the past 90
years. 300 Garcia St. 956/943-1468.
