Prior to the 2010 census, part of North Escobares CDP was incorporated into Escobares city and parts were taken to form new CDPs (Escobar I, JF Villarreal CDP, Loma Vista CDP, Moraida CDP, Pena CDP, and Rivera CDP) and additional area was lost. As a result, the CDP's total area was reduced to 0.7 square mile (1.8 km2), all land.[4][5]
