In-Game Description

A relatively new city by Mexican standards, Ciudad Victoria—meaning "Victory City" — was established in 1750 as a stronghold during the ongoing conflict between the Spanish and the surviving Native Americans living in the northeast of Mexico. Now the capital of the state of Tamaulipas, the city grew steadily through the course of the 19th century. Unlike other cities in Mexico, the city did not see a significant decline during the Revolution and survived the conflict relatively unscathed. The recent decades have seen the city grow massively as its industry has prospered thanks to the work of the Mexican miracle. Many see the success of Ciudad Victoria as a vision of what prosperity can bring to all of Mexico, with the city being held up as a gold standard of what the country should strive to be.
