About El Paso, TX

In 1958, El Paso,TX and Juarez, Mexico both had almost 270,000 people each, and the previous decade had been one of fantastic expansion with 100% growth. The old “wild west” town was maturing into a metroplex right in the middle of a dynamic and changing region of the world. The Miner football team had, the year before, won 6 games out of 9, but followed that performance by winning only two games in 1958. Trolleys still took people from downtown El Paso to Juarez for 10 cents.

Today, the Paso del Norte region is home to 2.2 million people. The culture and people are entering a new era of technology and connection. Some things never change; the people are still honest and hardworking. The UTEP miners keep repeating history, and we still keep on loving them. El Paso is ever more the international hub of the Southwest. An excellent road system connects El Paso to the surrounding regions and cities including Mexico. The unfortunate events of 9/11 have caused the US federal government to make the walls a bit higher. But we are still one urban area, one road network, one place to live a good life. Commerce is still swift and profitable. There is a greater prosperity for everyone including Chihuahua and the rest of Mexico. We are working together.
