Best Answer

It was named as "El Paso del Norte". Initially, El Paso was a single city spanning both sides of the Rio Grande river until the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. At the end of such war, the river became an international border and effectively split the city in two. Both cities kept their names until 1888, when the Mexican side was renamed in honor of Mexican President Benito Juarez.
