No. It was established by Spanish explorers in 1659. When Mexico won its war of independence against Spain (1821), it became a Mexican possession. After the Mexican-American War (1848), It was then split into El Paso (US) and El Paso del Norte (Mexico). In 1888, El Paso del Norte was renamed as Ciudad Juarez, to honor Mexican president Benito Juarez.
