El Paso stands on the Rio Grande across the Mexico-United States border from Ciudad Juárez, the most-populous city in the Mexican state of Chihuahua with 1.4 million people. Las Cruces, in the neighboring U.S. state of New Mexico, has a population of 215,579. On the U.S. side, the El Paso metropolitan area forms part of the larger El Paso-Las Cruces combined statistical area, with a population of 1,060,397.
These three cities form a combined international metropolitan area sometimes referred to as the Paso del Norte or the Borderplex. The region of 2.5 million people constitutes the largest bilingual and binational work force in the Western Hemisphere.
The city is home to three publicly traded companies, and former Western Refining, now Marathon Petroleum, as well as home to the Medical Center of the Americas, the only medical research and care provider complex in West Texas and Southern New Mexico, and the University of Texas at El Paso, the city's primary university. The city hosts the annual Sun Bowl college football postseason game, the second-oldest bowl game in the country.
El Paso has a strong federal and military presence. William Beaumont Army Medical Center, Biggs Army Airfield, and Fort Bliss are located in the area. Fort Bliss is one of the largest military complexes of the United States Army and the second largest training area in the United States behind nearby White Sands Missle Range. The fort is headquartered in El Paso but a large part of the training area is in New Mexico. Also headquartered in El Paso are the Drug Enforcement Administration domestic field division 7, El Paso Intelligence Center, Joint Task Force North, United States Border Patrol El Paso Sector, and U.S. Border Patrol Special Operations Group.
In 2010 and 2018, El Paso received an All-America City Award. El Paso ranked in the top-three safest large cities in the United States between 1997 and 2014, including holding the title of safest city between 2011 and 2014.
Downtown and central El Paso
This part of town contains some of the city's oldest and most historic neighborhoods. Located in the heart of the city, it is home to about 44,993 people. Development of the area started in 1827 with the first resident, Juan Maria Ponce de Leon, a wealthy merchant from Paso del Norte (present day Ciudad Juárez), who built the region's first structure establishing Rancho Ponce within the vicinity of S. El Paso Street and Paisano Dr. when the city was barely beginning. Today, central El Paso has grown into the center of the city's economy and a thriving urban community. It contains numerous historic sites and landmarks, mostly in the Sunset Heights district. It is close to the El Paso International Airport, the international border, and Fort Bliss. It is part of the El Paso Independent School District.
Dr. James Day, an El Paso historian, said that downtown's main business area was originally centered between Second Avenue (now Paisano Drive) and San Francisco Avenue. At a later point, the main business area was centered around Stanton Street and Santa Fe Street. In the late 1800s, most of the White American residents lived to the north of the non-White areas, living in brick residences along Magoffin, Myrtle, and San Antonio Avenues. Hispanic-American residents lived in an area called Chihuahuita ("little Chihuahua"), which was located south of Second Avenue and west of Santa Fe Street. Several African Americans and around 300 Chinese Americans also lived in Chihuahuita. Many of the Chinese Americans participated in the building of railroads in the El Paso area. Another downtown neighborhood is El Segundo Barrio, which is near the United States/Mexico border.

12:48 Is that the old The Popular building on the right? I used to work at a business in that building back some 30 years ago. The tried making it into a downtown mall and it failed. The Plaza Theater is right next door on the right. Then, back then, the San Francisco Bar & Grill was there. Then we had what was then the Greyhound Bus Station, which is now the Art Museum… if it still is. Damn… long ago. Haven’t been by there in years.

[@CatharsisByProxy]

It's across the street from our county jail and courthouse, that's why you're seeing 'em all in one spot there. That big glass building is the courthouse and the white/beige one beside is the detention center. So across the street is where you'll find all the bail bond companies the entire city has, lol :) - Actually, aside from the downtown detention center, we only have one more small jail annex 20 miles away near the city limits and that's it for jails. Lol. For a city with just shy of a million people I'd say that's not half bad :p

Zip code is 799.

Three digit zip code?

[@sammysliver]

The first three digits of a Zip Code are called the Zip Code Prefix. So in a particular area, say the City of El Paso and sometimes surrounding areas, the Zip Code Prefix remains the same ( 799 for the El Paso area ) but the last two digits of the Zip Code will change to denote different sections of that larger area.
