It is approximately 55 acres and includes walking and bike trails, picnic areas, restrooms, amphitheater, parking lot, administrative offices, and a cultural center. El Paso County is the county seat of the city of El Paso. In 2020, the population of the city was 678,815. El Paso is the 23rd largest city in the U.S., the sixth largest in Texas, and the second largest in the Southwest. CHAM celebrates the peaceful settlement of a dispute over the international boundary between El Paso and Ciudad Juarez in Mexico. On August 29, 1963, after decades of disagreeing about who owned a piece of land shaped and reshaped by the meandering Rio Grande, the question was finally settled by diplomacy and technology. The river was constrained within a concrete channel for 4.3 miles, forming a permanent boundary between the two nations.
