Dangerous Studies?We're looking for a city in northern Mexico in today's Geo Quiz. Spanish explorers founded this city in the 17th century. It was known originally as El Paso del Norte -- or the northern passage. The city was split in two in 1848. That's when the Rio Grande became the border between the U-S and Mexico. The part north of the river became El Paso, Texas. The part south of the Rio Grande is the city we want you to identify. What was known as El Paso del Norte was renamed in 1888 in honor of Mexico's first indigenous president. Today, it has the sad distinction of being the most violent city in the country. In spite of that, foreign exchange students from Europe, Asia and South America still go there. We'll tell you about that, when you name this Mexican city.
