3. In Spanish, colonia means a community or neighborhood. However, the term has been appropriated by the state of Texas to refer to a Mexican-American residential area along the Texas-Mexico border. Most colonias lack some of the most basic living infrastructure such as potable water and sewer systems, electricity, paved roads, and safe and sanitary housing.
