El Paso del Norte

El Paso del Norte was a historic trade route and region in northern Mexico and southern Texas, connecting the Gulf of Mexico to the southwestern United States. It was a vital corridor for commerce, cultural exchange, and migration, especially during the colonial period. The area includes modern cities like Ciudad Juárez in Mexico and El Paso in the U.S. These settlements grew around trade, mining, and transportation routes, forming a region with deep historical, economic, and cultural significance that continues to influence the border area today.
