Where It All Began
The first mention of a county hospital in El Paso was in the early 1900’s in a local newspaper called The Herald. In
1902, County Hospital was located in a two-story building on Smelter Road (today’s Paisano Street) at old Ft. Bliss.

New Location – New Name
The County hospital became El Paso General Hospital when it moved east in 1915 to a new facility at 4815
