Larga Vista used to be a special kind of community called a census-designated place (CDP) in Webb County, Texas, United States. A CDP is an area that looks like a town but isn't officially governed by its own city rules.
In the year 2000, about 742 people lived in Larga Vista. However, by 2010, Larga Vista was no longer a CDP. This happened because the bigger city of Laredo grew and completely surrounded it. When a CDP is fully inside an official city, it loses its special status. Today, Larga Vista is considered a neighborhood within Laredo.
