No, the San Andreas Fault does not run through El Paso, Texas. The San Andreas Fault is located in California, primarily running through the state from the Salton Sea in the south to Cape Mendocino in the north. El Paso is situated far to the east of the fault line, primarily in the region of the Rio Grande Rift. While Texas does experience seismic activity, it is not associated with the San Andreas Fault.

Driving from El Paso, TX, to Salvador, Brazil, is not feasible as it involves crossing international borders and vast distances across multiple countries in South America. The journey would cover approximately 5,000 miles or more, depending on the route. It could take several days to weeks of continuous driving, not accounting for rest, fuel stops, and border crossings. Therefore, it's more practical to consider flying for such a long-distance trip.

Yes, El Paso, Texas, is a home rule city. This status allows it to adopt its own charter and govern itself with more autonomy than general law cities, which are limited to powers granted by the state legislature. El Paso's home rule status enables it to make local decisions regarding governance, zoning, and other municipal matters. The city adopted its home rule charter in 1917.

NAFTA, implemented in 1994, significantly impacted El Paso, Texas, by transforming it into a critical hub for trade and manufacturing. The agreement facilitated increased cross-border trade with Mexico, leading to the growth of maquiladoras—factories that import materials and export finished goods. This created numerous jobs and boosted the local economy, although it also led to challenges such as wage stagnation and increased competition. Overall, NAFTA helped reinforce El Paso's status as a key player in North American trade.

The El Paso boxing Hall of Fame/ El Paso Boxing Martial Arts Hall of Fame was founded in 1993 by coach Thomas W. McKay. McKay served as the Hall's first president for four years and then retired Colonel Mack Boone continued to excel as President bringing in the most monies for the Candlelighters. The 501 C3 has provided tens of thousands of dollars to the 'Candlelighters', a group that suppports children with cancer.

Mckay came down with serious cancer in 1996 and the Hall continued uintil a couple of years ago when unfortunately, IRS reports were not submitted. Because of that neglect, McKay, still fighting cancer, will hopefully bring the event back in 2012.

McKay plans to have a website up sometime in March of 2012 and will list all the inductee's and highlights of their careers.

Thanks for asking

El Paso lies at the far western tip of Trans-Pecos Texas, where the Rio Grande breaks through the rugged mountains to bring water to the harsh Chihuahuan Desert. Though the surrounding landscape is dominated by desert scrub growth on the low hills and mountain sides, the river valley is a fertile alluvial plain supporting a variety of trees and plants. This dramatic landscape is the stage for the story of the missions and settlements of the El Paso valley and its evolution into one of the most productive agricultural areas in the region during the Spanish reign. In historical parlance, "El Paso" encompasses the area that includes the present-day cities of El Paso and Juárez and the small communities of Ysleta, Socorro and San Elizario. Before the arrival of the Spanish, El Paso had been inhabited for thousands of years by Native Americans. During the 16th century, it became an important stop for Spanish explorers on their way to New Mexico to find riches and convert the native population to Christianity. In 1583, Spanish explorer Antonio de Espejo described El Paso as having very good land and climate, with buffalo herds nearby, abundant game and birds, mineral deposits, many forests and pasture lands, rich natural deposits of salt, and abundant water in large marshes and pools. For the Oñate entrada, "El Paso del Río del Norte," was the much sought after pass through the mountains that the expedition needed to enter the province of New Mexico. 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. The story of the missions of El Paso is quite different from that of other Spanish missions. Unlike the more well-known missions of South Texas, only three in the El Paso area were founded in an attempt to "settle" the native people of the area. The rest were founded for the refugees and hostages from the 1680 Pueblo Revolt in New Mexico, native people who had already been "missionized," or acculturated, by the Spanish. The Puebloans from the north also brought their own traditions with them, including farming skills developed over hundreds of years. Caught between two worlds, these Indians were alternately hostile to and accommodating to the Spanish. Although they were "Christian Indians," they maintained a unique and separate lifestyle for some time. Over time, El Paso was home to Mansos, Piros, Janos, Sumas, Tanos, Tiguas, Tompiros, Apaches and Jumanos, as well as many more ancient groups whose names have been lost to history. Descendants of some of these diverse ethnic groups survived into the late 19th century and were interviewed by Southwest historian and archeologist Adolph Bandelier. With few exceptions, all had forgotten their native languages and had lost track of their tribal identity following years of living with other groups and speaking chiefly Spanish. Today only the Tiguas remain as an organized group, although their official status and rights to their land have been a matter of contention. In 1967, the State of Texas recognized the Tigua as a Texas Indian tribe; at that time, there were roughly 100 Tigua families living in Ysleta. It was only in 1987 that they received federal recognition as an American Indian Tribe. Were we to ignore the Indian viewpoint, there are a succession of historical "firsts" in the El Paso valley: celebration of the first "Thanksgiving," first production of a literary play in North America, and establishment of what would later be considered the first mission in Texas. Over time, the valley saw dramatic change, both in the cultural and physical world. The area's original inhabitants-peaceful hunter-gatherers who roamed throughout the valley and traded their pottery and goods across the desert Southwest-fell victim to disease and warfare brought by the Spanish as well as more hostile Plains Indians from the north. Their traditional way of life was replaced by the Spanish system of government, economy, and religion. Connected by a vital trade route to Spanish towns to the north and south and located in a prime area for farming and trade, El Paso became a thriving center with a diverse mix of people. As Pedro Alonso O'Crouley described life around the presidio at El Paso del Norte in 1774: There is a large population of Spaniards and mestizos because it is on the border of New Mexico, where fairs are held, horses traded, and horsehides, cured sheepskins, buffalo robes, and the like are bought and sold. It is also here that captives who have been ransomed from the heathen tribes are sheltered and instructed in the mysteries of the faith. The Rio Grande itself, the life-blood of the valley, also wrought change. Floods repeatedly washed away agricultural fields and destroyed buildings and settlements, forcing the Spanish and Indian laborers to repeatedly reconstruct them or move them to new locations. Progressively moving southwestward from its established channel, the river changed course repeatedly, ultimately leaving the missions, native pueblos, and small Spanish communities on its opposite side-the north bank-in territory that would ultimately become Texas. The coming of the railroads and an influx of Anglo travelers and settlers brought widespread political changes that would again alter the lives of El Paso valley people. Although the city of El Paso today is an industrialized center with population well over 650,000, the villages along the river valley to the south still maintain vestiges of their Spanish Colonial and native roots, along with modern innovations, and are among the oldest continuously occupied communities in the Southwest. The Tigua pueblo at Ysleta is still ruled by a tribal government headed by the caciqueand his captains, and maintains a cultural center as well as a casino. Three of the Spanish Colonial churches, all reconstructed, hold Catholic services and are vital centers of their communities. Here ceremonies blending native and Spanish traditions, song, and dance are played out-a fragile thread to the past. As in the past, the river binds and sustains these communities. Fields of cotton and groves of pecan trees have taken the place of crops of earlier times: wheat, corn, and grapes. Farmers still irrigate their fields with water drawn from a system of riegos, or canals, diverting water from the river. A U.S. Army base, Fort Bliss, stretches east and north of El Paso. Like its Spanish predecessors, this fort was established to protect settlers from attacks by Comanche and other hostile native groups. Today, its concerns are more global.

The symbol for El Paso Electric Company in the NYSE is: EE.

It used to be lit during the holidays and was nothing more than a christmas decoration. In the recent past, people have been able to pay a fee and have the lit star dedicated for one night to someone (a relative who has passed away etc....) or to an event (wedding...etc). I believe the star is still lit during the holidays.
