Ysleta
Ysleta, Texas is now a community within El Paso, but it was once its own town. Ysleta is home to the oldest continuously operated parish in Texas, the Ysleta Mission. When members of the Tigua tribe fled their homes during the Pueblo Revolt, many followed Spanish colonists to present-day El Paso. In 1682, the Tigua tribe built the Ysleta Mission.
Ysleta, settled in 1680, is believed to have the oldest continuously cultivated plot of land in the state. The town made a bid to become the county seat in 1873 but lost out to El Paso.
