In 1928 the San Benito and Rio Grande Valley Railway established a station in La Paloma. By 1940 the community had

the post office, a school, two churches, five businesses, and population of 150. In 1971 La Paloma, with a population of 150, had five businesses; by 1973 its population had decreased to 110. In the 1970s part of La Paloma was a colonia, which had from 100 to 134 dwellings between 1970 and 1986 and an estimated population of 726 in 1976 and 450 in 1986.
