El Paso, TX HyperLocal City Guide featuring Neighborhoods, Zip Codes and Yellow Pages.

El Paso is another of those Texas and Mexican towns that saw Native American civilization of one type or another for thousands of years. Now, the town lies just outside Fort Bliss and the White Sands Missile Range. To balance that presence, El Paso is nearly bisected by the Franklin Mountains. So, nature reigns. For the most part, American settlers came in numbers after the Mexican-American War. Then, El Paso supported the Confederacy. After the Civil War, the town started to grow. Apparently the margarita was invented here at Tommy’s Place Bar by Pancho Morales. Even without a major-league franchise in sports, the city has an active sports profile with baseball, football, soccer, and hockey. El Paso’s Borderland Derby is a prep race for the Kentucky Derby. A lot of movies were filmed in El Paso, including Traffic.
