Dallas. Texas. Jun" IA tradition
which has been handed down through
many generations @. West TEXAS and
New Mexico pioneers has Il that the
htile town Of YSie'a. Texas Is miles
southeast Of FL Paso. IS the oldest
settlement Ia the United states.
According to tho tradition Yslota
was founded in I54u by Don Francisco
Nasqu"z Coronado. famed Spanish
explorer. This would make Ysleta Is
wears older than St Augustine. Fla.
whiIh Is accredited as being the oldest
city In this country.
Yet there are no official records to

According TO church records AT
Ysleta, the town was founded by An

New Mexico. about tho year 1882.
When Oicrmin rrtreated from Santa

the revolving Pueblo Indians he moved
lage Of ISlcta. There he captured about
500 hundred Indians and took them
with him on his southern march.

where he established al settlement.
The Indians went to work raising
crops in the valley and erecting adobe
houses DttcTmin left garrison oil
sold lers there. The settlement grew.
1t WAS recruited hy certain OF the Pro
and Seneca tribes who were lovers or

from the ruEinG bands of ApaChes. For
