CIUDAD JUAREZ

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 401 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CIUDAD JUAREZ , formerly EL PASO DEL NORTE, a northern frontier town of
Mexico
 , in the state of Chihuahua, 1223 M. by rail N.N.W. of
Mexico
  City. Pop. (1895) 6917. Ciudad
Juarez
  stands 3800 ft. above sea-level on the right bank of the Rio Grande del Norte, opposite the city, of El Paso,
Texas
 , with which it is connected by two bridges. It is the northern terminus of the Mexican Central railway, and has a large and increasing transit
trade
  with the United States, having a custom-
house
  and a United States consulate. It is also a military post with a small garrison. The town has a straggling picturesque
appearance
 , a considerable
part
  of the habitations being small
adobe
  or brick cabins. In the fertile neighbouring district cattle are raised, and wheat, Indian corn, fruit and grapes are grown, wine and brandy being made. The town was founded in 1681-1682; its present importance is due entirely to the railway. It was the headquarters of President
Juarez
  in 1865, and was renamed in 1885 because of its devotion to his cause.
