    Located at the westernmost edge of Texas along the Rio Grande River, El Paso has long been recognized as one of the nation’s safest cities with a population of over 800,000. This thriving community is aptly referred to as the “Sun City” – a moniker derived from the 300+ days of sunshine experienced annually.

Residents and visitors may also take in an El Paso Locomotive FC soccer game or an El Paso Rhinos hockey game. Located in El Paso are amusement parks, water parks, state parks, museums, the El Paso Zoo and Botanical Gardens, and the El Paso Symphony Orchestra. At the heart of the City is the Franklin Mountains State Park, the largest urban state park in Texas.

    Fort Bliss is the largest installation in the United States Army Forces Command and the second largest military installation in the Army overall with the largest being the adjacent White Sands Missile Range.  Fort Bliss is an anchor of the local economy and its economic stability, as it is the single largest employer in the area supporting over 167,000 people with an annual economic contribution of over $25 billion.
