Juarez and El Paso A Frontiers City in Flux and History
Juarez sits on the Rio Grande opposite El Paso and figures in recent military talks between American and Mexican authorities. The city, formerly El Paso del Norte, was renamed in 1883 for Benito Juarez, a Zapotec leader who shaped Mexico through civil strife and foreign pressure. The article recounts Juarez’s roles in early modern Mexican history, the 1910 Taft-Madero meeting near the international bridge, and notes Juarez as a center for bullfights and frontier culture alongside Nuevo Laredo as a northern gateway to Mexico City followed by brief frontier population shifts and the region’s rail links.
