    One of five volumes that contain certified copies of the proceedings of the 1767 royal visit to the five villas del norte (northern towns) established along the Rio Grande in the mid-18th century (Laredo, Revilla [Guerrero], Camargo, Mier, and Reynosa), along with English translations of the same. These records detail the process by which lands were formally distributed to Rio Grande colonists. The copies were made in the early 1870s, in accordance with a state law that mandated that copies of the town charters be obtained and deposited in the GLO.
