Monterrey is one of the largest metropolises in Mexico, but it has not always been that way. Its population has more than doubled since 1985, from 2.3 to 5.3 million, driven by pro-economic development policies, modern infrastructure and its strategic location near the United States border. The city is adjacent to Cumbres de Monterrey National Park, with 680 square miles (1,770 sq km) of rugged, folding mountain ranges.
