So the story goes, Mexico earned its name not for any resemblance it shares with the country far south of it, but for a lonely sign pointing weary pioneers towards what would soon become the Republic of Texas, years ago. Rather than move the sign or change the name, the area was first named New Mexico, and then shortened to just Mexico. What began as a tiny Heartland town grew into an important marker on the arduous journey to the promise of new settlements in Texas, and today, Mexico's history is still on display for residents every day.

Mexico deviated from the more dramatic boom-and-bust narrative most railroad settlements at the turn of the 20th century followed, and its historic downtown, carefully restored, lends it charm and a sense of place. Glowing lamplights and brick sidewalks bring to mind simpler times and a slower pace. Whether you're here to enjoy a close-knit community where you know your neighbors or enjoy Mexico's proximity to larger cities without the hustle and bustle, it's important to protect the home you love and your sense of safety in it. An ADT monitored security system can help you do just that. Once you know ADT is looking over your home, you'll be able to get out and enjoy small-town life in Mexico without a care in the world.
