Did You Know?
El Paso and Ciudad Juárez were one settlement until 1848, when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo put a border down the middle of it. The river has shifted since, which produced the Chamizal dispute — settled only in 1963.
The clock: El Paso keeps Mountain Time while most of Texas keeps Central, so the city is an hour behind the rest of its own state.
