About El Paso
Even if you know little about Texas, chances are you know about El Paso. It was made famous in a hit and award-winning song, named, of course, “El Paso,” by the country star Marty Robbins in 1959.
El Paso is the westernmost point of West Texas and straddles the Rio Grande on the U.S.-Mexico border. It is the largest of three cities that form an international metropolitan area made up of El Paso; Las Cruces, New Mexico; and Juarez, Mexico.
It’s also home to the University of Texas at El Paso and the Sun Bowl. There’s a reason it’s called the Sun Bowl: El Paso is one of the sunniest locations in the United States, with 302 days of brightness a year, and has “Sun City” for a moniker.
