The name El Paso itself has a rich historical significance. It is a shortened version of El Paso del Rio del Norte, the name given to the pristine river valley by conquistador Don Juan de Oñate more than four centuries ago. El Paso and Ciudad Juarez are the largest border cities on the Texas/ Mexico border. Some 617 miles west of Dallas.
El Paso has seen and remembered the westward expansion of pioneer America, the coming of the railroads to the western frontier, the days of outlaw and gunslingers, Indian wars and Indian peace, the birth of the U.S. Cavalry and the Texas Rangers.
