The greater El Paso Region is positioned in southwestern Texas and south-central New Mexico on the U.S./Mexican border. It is the largest international metroplex in the world and seamlessly blends cultures and traditions: from the historic Old West to the colors of Mexico, from the heritage of Native Americans to the beauty of our desert sun. El Paso's natural beauty is a rarity in today's world. During the day, our mountains take on shades of purple, vibrant orange and pale green. The sun shines over 305 days a year in El Paso. Wide-open vistas, big skies and beautiful desert weather are the norm, and almost every day ends with a breathtaking sunset.

The region is a blend of urban, suburban, rural, and undeveloped sectors, encompassing an estimated population of 2.5 million. El Paso is the largest metro area on the U.S./Mexican border and the region constitutes the largest bi-national metropolitan area in the Western Hemisphere. This geographic location makes the El Paso area unique. The expansion of Ft. Bliss, the start of the Texas Tech Medical School, funding of the future international bridge at Fabens and push of the Downtown Revitalization Plan are all bringing positive news to El Paso.
