Linda Oladunni Arrives in Harlingen Texas

Linda Oladunni and her husband Dr. Joseph Oladunni chose to live in Harlingen, Texas, in Cameron County, 30 miles from the Gulf coast. With a population of over 65,000, Harlingen has the distinction of having the lowest cost of living in the United States.

Linda Oladunni Harlingen, Texas is the sixth largest city in the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas in the United States, with a strategic location which makes it ideal for distribution, shipping and industry. Named for Harlingen in the Netherlands, Linda Oladunni and her husband chose to settle in a town founded in 1904 by Lon C. Hill, a founder of Native American Choctaw ancestry. In Harlingen’s infancy, its first school in 1905 opened with 15 students near founder Hill’s home, with an economy based on the production of vegetables and cotton. By the mid 80’s, this mix would change to citrus production as a major product, with grain and cotton next. Harlingen’s economy is also experiencing a rise in construction centered on the creation of retirement communities.

Linda Oladunni pursued an Associates Degree at Texas State Technical College, a state-operated system of two-year colleges with a headquarters in Waco, Texas, its oldest campus. Besides Harlingen, TSTC has campuses in Marshall, Texas, 4 campuses in West Texas, and partnership campuses with Texas State Marine Education Center in Palacios and the Richmond facility of Wharton County Junior College. Oladunni earned an Associates Degree in Business at the Harlingen campus of TSTC, a system of two-year technical institutions designed to further the education of the work force of Texas.
