History

El Paso is the primary city name, but also Desert Haven are acceptable city names or spellings. The official name is City of El Paso. The El Paso region has had human settlement for thousands of years, as evidenced by Folsom points from hunter-gatherers found at Hueco Tanks. The earliest known cultures in the region were maize farmers. The Chamuscado and Rodríguez Expedition trekked through present-day El Paso and forded the Rio Grande in 1581-1582. In 1680, the small village of El Paso became the temporary base for Spanish governance of the territory of New Mexico as a result of the Pueblo Revolt. In 1844, the Republic of Texas, which claimed the area, wanted a chunk of the Santa Fe trade. During the MexicanAmerican War, the Battle of El Bracito was fought nearby on Christmas Day, 1846. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo effectively made the settlements on the north bank of the river part of the US, separate from Old El Paso del Norte on the Mexican side. The present New MexicoTexas boundary placing El Paso on the Texas side was drawn in the Compromise of 1850. El Paso County was established in March 1850, with Elizario as the first county seat. The United States Senate fixed a boundary between Texas and New Mexico at the 32nd parallel, thus largely ignoring history and topography. The future El Paso, Texas, became the nucleus of the future state of Chihuahua after the army left in 1851; Franklin, which became the future U.S. capital, was repossessed in 1852.

A housing unit is a house, apartment, mobile home, or room occupied as separate living quarters. The average age of homes = 31 years with median home cost = $131,970 and home appreciation of -4.26%. This is the value of the years most recent home sales data. Its important to note that this is not the average (or arithmetic mean). The median home price is the middle value when you arrange all the sales prices of homes from lowest to highest. This is a better indicator than the average, because the median is not changed as much by a few unusually high or low values. The property tax rate of $20.70 shown here is the rate per $1,000 of home value. If for simplification for example the tax rate is $14.00 and the home value is $250,000, the property tax would be $14.00 x ($250,000/1000), or $3500. This is the 'effective' tax rate.
