I could have sworn I read somewhere (the creating races section in the DMG) that a large creature should get a +1 to Strength.

Well, in my game there is a PC race that is large and they get +1 Str/-1 Int. So should they get a Str bonus from race and from size?

That +1/-1 thing IS their size mod., or it should be.
The +1 for large creatures counts as a racial mod. It assumes that any race that size is naturally stronger - thus the +1.

Now, you could create a race with a natural +1 to strength, and then make a sub-race that was larger, giving it another +1 to strength, but I think that would be pushing it.
