- I am reporting from Los Ebanos Texas.
Los Ebanos is a census-designated place in Hidalgo County, Texas along the Rio Grande River. Current population is around 335 people. It has a hand operated ferry that takes cars & people back & forth between the U.S. / Mexico.
Feels like a Ghost Town with many abandoned old buildings & history. Western rustic abandoned border town feel.
I take you on a tour of this area.

It's an old tourist attraction
❤We have a old town like that here it's Old Abilene Town with the old buildings and jail except it's being all torn down. That's wild them people running that ferry are making bank charging all them people. If they go on a rope it's not costing them money but charging 2.00-3.00 dollars per person is wild. WOW yep that whole place was weird. Most people had a fence around their yards. Wild stuff for sure.😱🤔
I think your trip along the border with Mexico is one of the most enlightening video series by any Journalist I have seen. Just an honest look at America . Like CBS used to do with Charles Kuralt Keep doing what your doing JLR....great show.
I love places like that. Old west stuff. Yehawww :-) I really do enjoy that stuff though. That's neat. A one car ferry.. that is fun. That lady was very nice. It's a shame someone didn't keep them up - ya know. Those old buildings. It had 1870 on that old jail house. At some time that was a nice area I think. That was a popular crossing during the Mexican war in 1846. And the name was due to the large population of Ebony trees in the area. I googled it. That is neat. I bet those sprawled out trees with the branches hanging on ground in places are the ebony trees. I looked up the ebony tree too. Really interesting. In some countries - the "real" ebony tree can sell for 1 million dollars. The ebony trees there in TX (and some in Southern OK) can be used in place of the true ebony trees. They are very hard - and really rot resistant. Used for musical instruments and for really nice decorations. That has been fun J. I enjoyed this.
I loved the genuine delight and excitement you had, upon seeing the ferry and old, abandoned western town!!! You’re just so real!! Thanks for taking us on the tour with you!! Sending blessings!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Wow, JLR awesome! This is so much better than watching the misery at the border!!!! Thank you
Absolutely fascinating, thanks Jonathan, so much history there, if only those walls could talk
It's amazing that so many houses have fences around them.
Excellent show, I've never seen anything like that before! ❤
Sadly many of our small towns in the USA have falling down, boarded up homes, apartment buildings and businesses.
Thank you @JLR for all of your investigations on the Southern Border!
He is a scumbag... Do your research!! 😂
Jonathan Lee Riches is a convicted fraudster known for the many lawsuits he has filed in various United States district courts.[1] Riches was incarcerated at Federal Medical Center, Lexington, Kentucky, for wire fraud under the terms of a plea bargain. His release date was April 30, 2012.[2] He was arrested for violating his federal probation in December 2012, when he left the Eastern District of the state of Pennsylvania without permission. He allegedly drove to Connecticut and impersonated the uncle of Adam Lanza, the shooter in the Sandy Hook Elementary School incident.
I grew up in Texas and I had no idea this town existed! Texas is huge! Thanks for showing us around! 👍
That first building (jail) is spooky and only and 27 years abandoned according to the ledger you looked at.
It's Texas, I bet that's been a ferry crossing for a really long time. Probably started out a place to cross the wagons. A lot of western movies have these, usually a trade spot, too. What a cool place!
I was born and raised here !! so cool to see this on your channel , that is a fully man powered ferry I actually have taken it across with family when I was a kid, I even had the opportunity to help the men tug the ferry across, I was smaller so don't know how much it helped them 😂😂😂😂 and yes , there is loads of Border Patrol/State Troopers/National Guard in this area even if you may not see them it has helped our area a ton , we appreciate them !!!
Thank you JLR for these Beautiful Scenic Little Towns. That Ferry was so unique.

I enjoyed this one more than all the rest of your videos, it's fascinating to see this. It was riveting. You are an outstanding journalist and I love how you told the gatekeeper you work for a big company.
Thanks JLR INVESTIGATES this is interesting. Wonder why everyone has chain linked fences 🤔. Amazing how they're transporting with the homemade ferry 😂😂😂
Build the wall 😊
You have take us with you,on a Amazing trip around ther
You're driving and some pretty sketchy places ! You better be careful and watch your Back !😳
THAT WAS SO AWESOME BUT GLAD YOUR DONE BC WORRIED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY AT THE BORDER🫡🙏🙌
I love old places like that which are really eerie especially old abandoned places. What a cool place that is. That old jail cell looked ancient. That ferry what is going on there. I haven't seen anything like that place either. Thanks for the coverage ❤
He is a scumbag... Do your research!! 😂
The Lil ferry thing is still used to cross
If I was in better health, I would buy that property rebuild it all back into the way. It was in the old times and do festivals all throughout the year and their history but now in my health, I wouldn’t be able to.
I'm lmao here.. that's a old amusement park. "Old western photos" ice cream HELLO LOL
Just looks like a lot of the border Texas towns!
Really cool place thanks for sharing.
He is a scumbag... Do your research!! 😂
It's sad in every state they have tons of homes and town that dry up and now these old buildings and houses just fell through and tress grown up in them and gangs took over and business went out of these towns and the towns died
Looks like a old well where they got water from .
wild,love it
@jlr happy new year I was on vacation I’m back now, so I’m glad to see your videos
Would be fun to buy and restore it and have a attraction place
Hi @JLR.... Thanks for this coverage ver y interesting, I could ride my horse through a town like this like back in the days. Always interested in our history. I dont know how I feel about every home being behind a chain link fence. Saftey is a great concern for these people. Stay safe JLR 🫂🤜🏻💪🏻🤛🏻😢😢

And I can't tell who is crossing that border at any point whatsoever! SMH ! SO AT THIS POINT PUTTING UP THE WALL...
DOES NOT MATTER 😳
It's an old tourist attraction
Is that ferry legal?or are they doing it under the radar?
Oooookay.
I've been visiting the town of Los Ebanos since the early '60s---my grandmother's house resides across from the town cemetery.
Although enthusiastic about your work, those "saloon-front" buildings and "town jail" are not authentic structures.
Los Ebanos was established roughly in the mid-1800's. That dwelling at 2:00, yes, is an authentic piece of property; the "saloon-front" buildings were added some 20-30 odd years ago; quite possibly for local tourists either coming to Texas or leaving for Mexico via the International Ferry.
Also, Los Ebanos, although not quite a thriving metropolis, is hardly a ghost town.
There are many citizens who still live within the small town. In fact, one man from California's west coast moved to Los Ebanos a year ago. The Los Ebanos town church, St. Michael the Archangel, was remodeled back in 2018. The church, itself, is over a 100 years ago.
I had the opportunity to visit St. Michael's last Fall, and finally got to see the interior---I had been baptized there in the Fall of '64.
The pews are original, dating back 100 years ago; while the rest of the interior has been brought up to date.
Los Ebanos also sports its own Post Office, as well as a recreational park complete with stadium lights, bleachers, and even iron grills for bbqing. A pedway runs along the perimeter of the park for joggers, power-walkers, etc.
The town cemetery holds many of my family members, including my grandmother. I remember her interment: Dec. 4th, 1978.
Oh, and its proper pronunciation would be "Ebanos" as in "Ebony"
"Los Ebanos: Los Ebb-baa-nos."
Hope this was all helpful.
You know, as you were going through the town. I didn't see any children's toys. Balls or swing sets not a park, nothing.
About children whatsoever
I wish I was out JLRing with you 😘
Newer jail than the 1st one.
JLR…you better be extra careful…these people don ‘t play!….they will throw you in that Mexican jail and you’ll never be seen again!…
JLR…You can talk yourself out of a wet paper bag!…Texas saying!…
I believe Clint Eastwood movie EL MACHO was film there watch the movie you were see for yourself
Maybe they'll fix it up for the migrates

JLR FIND MAURA MURRAY!!! FEB 9TH MARKS 20 YEARS!!
Take me!😊
Catching bugs.🪲🪰
Seems many anster hiuses. The new generation build a new house. Some seems to be next to or close by the plder house. Some familys won't tear down an ansyer house for sentimental reson or feat of ghost and sprits..
What I wonder why so many houseshave fencing around the house in a small community as this.
So, the town is abandoned except for the ferry?
Why didn't he want you to go in?
I couldn't understand him. Wild place
Is this an old movie set?
Looks easy to cross
Do they have any gas stations?
Watch for snakes
That's where the stolen cars go from USA across . You pay a Big Fare. Do not. be fooled. Why all secrecy? Questioning? ?????
