From Texas Escapes website:

The two-story jail, which features handmade brick and a corbeled cornice along the roofline, served the county until 1908, when the seat of government was moved to Chapin (now Edinburg).

The city's first newspaper, "The Hidalgo Advance," was published here from 1904 to 1908.
