 Many explorers came to El Paso, and settled there or they just passed through. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers pass El Paso on the way to New Mexico. El Paso Missions stated, “After the founding of Santa Fe in 1609, El Paso became a critical point in the long north-south route of communication and trade between the Mexican interior and the missions and Spanish settlements of New Mexico—the Camino Real” (Texas Beyond History). Because of the explorers that went through El Paso, they named it El Paso del norte which is The Pass of the North. The city is located near the border. Three areas in El Paso have had native people settle down in El Paso. Before the Spanish explorers came El Paso was populated with Indian tribes. Throughout time El Paso became a very cultural and known place.
