El Paso History

The El Paso area was inhabited for centuries by various Indian groups before the Spaniards came. El Paso remained the largest settlement in New Mexico as part of the Republic of Mexico until its cession to the U.S. in 1848. Founded as El Paso del Norte by Spanish Franciscan friars at an important mountain pass, the area became a small agricultural producer though most settlement was south of the river where modern Mexico lies. The city was considered part of New Mexico under Spanish Conquerors. By the year 1776 the settlement comprised a string of hamlets and farms inhabited by 5,000 people. According to tshaonline A number of important developments during the 1850s shaped the character of the area north of the river. Most authorities agree that the arrival of the railroads in 1881 and 1882 was the single most significant event in El Paso history, as it transformed a sleepy, dusty little adobe village of several hundred inhabitants into a flourishing frontier community that became the county seat in 1883 and reached a population of more than 10,000 by 1890. After 1900 El Paso began to shed its frontier image and develop as a modern municipality and significant industrial, commercial, and transportation center. El Paso during the the twentieth century slowed somewhat during the 1930s of war time. After reaching 102,421 in the 1930 census the population declined to 96,810 by the 1940 census. Postwar development brought the number of residents up to 130,003 in 1950. Due to rapid military expansion, El Paso's population continued to expand more than doubled during the next ten years, reaching 276,687 in 1960. Steady growth continued throughout the 1960s, with the population reaching 339,615 in 1970. From 1971 to 1974, the city population grew by 32 percent during the 1970s, to 425,259 in 1980.
