Boca Chica Village, Texas

 village, settlement, unincorporated area / community

Boca Chica Village, formerly Kennedy Shores and later Kopernik Shores, is a small unincorporated community in Cameron County, Texas, United States. It lies 20 miles east of the City of Brownsville, Texas. As of 2008, only 6 people were permanently living in the village.

The area, founded as Kennedy Shores in 1967, was marketed primarily towards working class Polish migrants. In 1975 local resident Stanley Piotrowicz was elected mayor, who renamed the village Kopernic Shores after Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. Some 2,000 investors reportedly bought lots here, sight unseen. Considerably fewer people actually moved in to the 32 houses that were built.

Billed as the "next Fort Lauderdale", the town had to have water trucked in from Brownsville and although it was incorporated, a Cameron county judge ruled it invalid. Today it exists as a sort of first generation Polish colonia.
