The history of El Paso is a tapestry woven from a vibrant blend of cultures and customs that make the unique metropolitan area that exists today. Our region’s history spans more than 400 years and fuses Native American, Spanish, Mexican and the American Cowboy traditions into one cohesive whole. In 1581, Spanish explorers reached the Rio Grande River and viewed a pass between two mountain ranges rising out of the desert. They named it El Paso del Norte or Pass of the North. When Spanish Conquistadors rode along the banks of the Rio Grande in 1598, they discovered a diamond amid the Chihuahuan desert.

El Paso has been luring visitors with its mystery and promise ever since and on April 30th, the area was colonized by a Spanish expedition under Don Juan de Oñate. In 1659, Fray García de San Francisco founded Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Mission, which still stands in downtown Ciudad Juárez, the oldest structure in the El Paso area. The Pueblo revolt of 1680 sent Spanish colonists and the Tigua Indians of Northern New Mexico fleeing southward to take refuge at the Pass. By 1682, San Lorenzo, Senecú, Ysleta and Soccorro settlements were founded. The increase in trade led to the building of a presidio in 1684 at San Elizario. The trade route became one of the historic royal highways. Not until the end of the Mexican War in 1848 did El Paso finally become part of the United States. El Paso became incorporated as a city in 1873 and with the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1881 the community was assured a stable future.
